Late afternoon - about an hour after it opened. Good number of folk enjoying the glorious weather; bit of live music in the bar area. 61 beers available and a cider bar. Note beer 61 - The Mogul - is not on the printed list - and shouldn't be missed in my opinion. Just listed those tried.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Breakwater - The Mogul5.60ExcellentCommemorating arguably the best pub in Dover (RIP) - and this beer lived up to it - complex notes and a great bite - slightly hazy or else it would have got top marks.
Coniston - Special Oatmeal Stout4.50GoodChocolatey with a hint of smoke. Sponsored by The Lanes.
Partners - American Craft Ale4.50Good
S43 (formerly Sonnet 43) - Aurora IPA4.40GoodDescribed rather ostentatiously as "Poetry in a glass" - rather good nonetheless.
Green Jack - Trawlerboys4.60AcceptableNot to my liking - malty with a rather acrid bitterness.

The Beer Festival is found in Dover, Kent, CT17 0UY.

200 year old corn mill open to the public. Although not a CAMRA beer festival many of the people who run it seem to be from the local CAMRA branch. Run along the same lines as a CAMRA festival this is an excellent event held in a grounds and mill building.

We have visited this Beer Festival once, seen 5 different beers and tried them all.
