Sunday and busy for the entire session, mostly regulars but a few first time visitors who seemed to enjoy the place. Excellent nibbles as usual on a Sunday.

Mid evening visit, my first for nearly 2 years. The pub sells several KeyKeg beers in addition to its cask ale offering. Stood at the pulpit all the stay.

Afternoon visit and a very good welcome from Katherine and Peter. I did not list all the beers on sale but there were a few strong dark ones.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hophead (some, if not most, also brewed by Fuller's) | 3.80 | | A Chiswick brew and superb, best of the Chiswick Hophead that I have tried so far. |

I made two visits in here tonight and a splendid atmosphere. Peter the guv told me that he had featured in a BBC Inside Out programme that was shown the previous Monday so watched that on iplayer when I got home.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hophead (some, if not most, also brewed by Fuller's) | 3.80 | | I do not know whether this was a Sussex or Chiswick version of this beer but it was served in excellent condition only marred by the strong smell of aniseed permeating from what the person next to me was drinking. |

| Pig & Porter - Blackbird Dry Stout | 4.00 | Not Tried | This ran out. |

I arrived soon after opening time and the pub was already busy as a good number of people had forgotten to put their clocks and watches back one hour. A good atmosphere and a good selection of biscuits, cheese and roast potatoes for nibbles.

Evening given 2030 hours. Place in darkness yet opening hours in window say open until 10pm. No other notice of reason for closure. Annoying for what is a destination Micropub.

Evening and solace after the blasting noise of the Rack of Ale. Dutch fellow and a Brit who has worked in Dutch apple farming were knocking back 8% Turners Russet like it had gone out of fashion.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy - Gold Top | 4.30 | | A distinctive full on flavour |
| Angels & Demons (also uses McCanns branding) - McCanns Hockley Soul | 4.20 | | Nice soft tasting stout. Apparently a new brewing outfit in Capel-le-Ferne which I had not heard of despite its website saying it has brewed since 2015. Both here and nearby The Lanes have been supplied and sold the beers. Whether it is some sort of cuckoo brewer or contract brewing arrangement or full on brewer will no doubt become apparent |

Lunchtime visit, a good chat with Kathryn and Peter plus a few locals. I was informed that Peter and Kathryn are planning to move on in about a year and are looking for someone to take over the business. They assured me that this information was not given in confidence as they want the right sort of people to know that the business will become available.

The pub is found in Dover, Kent, CT16 1JH.
Micropub situated close to the Market Square in Dover in the premises previously occupied by Pier Three. It has comfortable chairs (including several chesterfields) plus tables and chairs at the side. The pub has a 200 years old church pulpit instead of a bar. The licensees have stated an intention to set up a micro-brewery at the rear but it has not, to date, come to fruition. Has become renowned for its cask ales and a wide range of real ciders and perries, all sold under gravity dispense from a temperature controlled cellar room behind the pulpit bar.
We have visited this pub 30 times, seen 63 different beers and tried 33 of them.
Postcode: CT16 1JH
