Evening, full as I passed earlier but thinning out by 7pm. Landlord regaled us with some old music celeb stories - seems that the Small Faces, Average White Band and Boomtown Rats all have local connections.

6 pm visit - very busy but got a seat. Great ambience here - mainly mature folk with a good mix of gender for a micropub.

Earlyish evening. Walked here from the station and past 5 other pubs in the street, including the Faversham ‘spoons. It was noticeable that Furlongs was by far the most inviting and probably the busiest.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burning Sky - Aurora | 5.60 | | Heavenly. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Green Hop Ale (2022) | 4.80 | | Being lazy, the 2023 version, same strength, same quality. |

| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - Green & Black | 4.20 | Not Tried | 4.0 version |

Early evening. Very busy - good to see. I noticed the landlord disappear downstairs - this micro has a proper cellar!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goacher's - Fine Light Ale | 3.70 | | Had the edge on the Kent ales for condition and freshness. |
| Kent - Green Giant | 6.00 | | Yummy. |
| Kent - Kohatu | 4.50 | | |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Black Pearl Oyster Stout | 6.20 | Not Tried |

Early evening. Busy - had a good chat with some regulars including Tyler, brewer for Angels and Demons. The covered area to the rear was getting well used.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | Fresh on as the Citra ended. Top class. |
| Angels & Demons (now uses McCanns branding not its own) - Goldilocks is Dead | 5.30 | | So good - even though the brewer confesses that they were now using hop pellets for this brew. |
| Kent - Citra | 4.50 | | Near the end of the barrel - but very drinkable. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Thoroughly Modern Mild | 6.00 | Not Tried |

Pub 3. The bartender was informative in a machine-gun delivery sort of way. Bar area pretty full just after 1 pm but a larger covered garden area provided further space. 4 key keg ales on as well.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pig & Porter - Whispering Grass | 5.50 | | Full bodied in great condition. |
| Salopian - Oracle | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Wiper and True - Bitter | 4.70 | Not Tried | Poured a half - but wouldn’t serve it, end of barrel. |

Lunchtime visit - nicely busy and much cosier than the Creeker’s. I was offered a seat next to a couple of locals and enjoyed some good banter with them. Four good value cask ales on (£3.70 to £4.10).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | This may have rated a “good” score - but as a dark beer with a good ABV I was rather disappointed by the lack of flavour and body. Went down easily all the same. |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Delray Beach | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
