Tuesday evening and I was very disappointed to find that there was no cask beer available, evidently the new range of various keg type beers are so popular that just one cask ale will now be available from Thursday lunch time until Sunday or earlier if it runs out.
I was very surprised to find that Steve is now giving 20p Camra discount on the keg beers.
I sampled a half pint of one of the available beers (I can't remember what it was called) and found it to be horribly over carbonated. Not to my taste at all.

Afternoon visit and a good chat with Steve who has now added ten keg beer lines. The original plan for everything to made in Kent has been relaxed a bit as about half of these kegs are brewed outside of the County. Two casks on sale today, the other one was from Kent Brewery but I can't remember which one it was.

Mid evening fairly busy with folk coming and going during our stay. Good to see this place (and the Taproom) attracts the more upmarket clientele compared to the usual establishments here.

Early lunchtime - had a good chat with the guv, he apologised for the limited selection of ales - apparently had been shut for a while after new year and was waiting on fresh supplies. Could have been the reason that both beers were a little tired.
Liked it though - I will be back.

One of the few pubs in Ashford that seemed to be doing well on this damp Tuesday afternoon. I had a chat with someone from Odcombe Brewery.

My first visit here and I liked it, we were the only customers for a while until a few arrived during our stay. Enthusiastic and welcoming landlord.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Musket - Powder Burn | 5.00 | | Prune hints and sharp coffee notes in fine form. |
| Old Dairy - Blue Top | 4.80 | | Not a great advocate of OD beers due to their sweetness, this example although fairly fresh would warrant a meddling Govt sugar tax levy. |
| Tonbridge - Rustic | 4.00 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Ashford, Kent, TN23 1JJ.
This pub opened on 27 July 2018 in a former music shop in New Rents. There is seating in the bar area and a separate room to the rear plus a patio area at the back of the pub. Originally all beers were sourced from local breweries and dispensed by gravity from a stillage behind the bar but since then 10 keg lines have been added too and supply may be from outside the local area. In-cask coolers are used to keep the cask beer at cellar temperature.
We have visited this pub 14 times, seen 26 different beers and tried 17 of them.
