4 beers on and a full pub on a Thursday afternoon. Persuaded Ricky to put the Black pearl on. And it didn't disappoint.
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Black Pearl Oyster Stout | 6.20 | | Fresh on and superb. Smooth finish at £4.60. Different price every time he puts this on. I think he looks at what he thinks the customers can afford that day. Will be giving it away when the winter fuel allowance is cancelled. Lol. |

Gloomy Tuesday and 8 in with tales of domestic violence and more cheerful topics. 4 beers on.
Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | Lovely citrus notes and £4.20. |
20 Sep 2024 (Dosser)
Doing deliveries. 4 beers on. Lovely sunny day, possibly the last of the summer.
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | A decent pint but almost £3 more than Margate spoons last night. |
17 Sep 2024 (Dosser)
Just 4 of us in on a gloomy Tuesday afternoon. Beer extremely cold. Must have been expecting another warm day.
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | After moaning about warm beer for a while this got marked down for being too cold. Good flavoursome hoppy porter at £4.20. |

Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Not much left |

Mid evening visit. Two or three having a good argument about the British economy.
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Black Pearl Oyster Stout | 6.20 | | 4½* New cask on served in a dimple jug in superb condition. Too many of these would have curtailed the session length in town! |
Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
Kent - Session Pale | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
Farm Yard - Haybob | 3.90 | Not Tried | |

5 beers on and meat raffle. Discussion about why artillery beer is warm.
Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | Superb cold pint |
15 Aug 2024 (Dosser)
4 beers on as weather turns a bit cloudy.
Park - Tasman NZ Pale | 4.80 | | Hazy and murky but nice. |
13 Aug 2024 (Dosser)
Roasting day and 4 beers to go with 4 customers. Sat outside in 27 degrees.
2 x 2 - NZ Hazy | 4.80 | | New brewery and beer. Completely murky, unlined but cold and great taste. If you like this sort of beer. |
