Early Tuesday evening. “Please wait to be seated” sign as you enter and very much discouraged from walking about - I went to look at what was on the pumps but was told that everything was on the beer menu. But the beer menu had beers that weren’t on. Torpedo is now £5.50. Table service only. This is really no longer a pub in my view.

Mid to late evening and busy as expected with a mixture of all ages. We found the perfect table able to accommodate us close to the bar. I've only listed what I drunk.

Mid afternoon, busy. Met up with 5 Coldred drinkers on a crawl. They each had a flight of five ales. Such fun.

Afternoon visit, fairy quiet at this time but they appeared to be getting ready for a busy evening. The guv confirmed that the Kent Green Hop Festival is planned to go ahead this year and that a web site should be up and running in a few weeks time.

Late afternoon- bumped into an old acquaintance and had a very enjoyable hour or so catching up. Bit disappointed that their own cask ale is now £4.90 a pint - must be the high transport costs from the brewery. Only 2 cask ales on.

The pub is found in Canterbury, Kent, CT1 2NR.

Brewery tap for Canterbury Brewers. The brewery is inside the building and may be viewed through an internal window. Upstairs and ground floor bars with the latter always open. 7 handpumps sported in each of the 2 bars. Substantial discount on real ales for Card carrying CAMRA members - at April 2013 this was 10% on own brewed beer - ask if there is a discount on food too as this is allegedly 10% too. Consists of two bar areas - one downstairs adjacent to the brewery and another up some steps to a mezzanine level. Originally located in White Horse Lane near the Cherry Tree pub. In addition to its excellent home brewed ales the pub is getting a reputation for tasty and good value food. Moved in October 2018 to a new location in Stour Street "lock stock and barrel".

We have visited this pub 144 times, seen 99 different beers and tried 74 of them.
