Early Saturday afternoon and fairly quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Lumina | 4.20 | | Not my sort of beer but apparently Ian loved it. It made me think of an alcoholic J20 with extra haze and grapefruit. Perfectly well kept but I would have happily paid more for a pint of old fashioned Fremlins. |

No cask ale today but an ale from Wantsum is getting itself ready in the cellar. I drank a keg porter and stayed longer than originally planned as the company was good. I had a good chat with Ian who used to make regular contributions to this site.

Early on a Saturday afternoon. I had a good chat with Steve the guv.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy - Summer Haze | 4.30 | | Not really my kind of beer but nothing wrong with the way it was kept or served. Hazy and far too much of a grapefruit flavour for me. I like grapefruit but I don't want my beer to taste like it. |

Afternoon visit. Some good banter.

| Marble - Pint | 3.90 | | No head so a full pint. A good pint of Pint. |

I liked the new layout with the bar moved to a more central location and replaced by two seating bays alongside the window made for a better experience. The beer was very good so we stayed for a few more than anticipated.

| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 | | Dry smoky yet slightly malty served at a perfect temperature. |

Saturday lunchtime, I met Magnus here for a fair number of pints. Steve informed us that cask sales have increased in popularity here.

Early Saturday afternoon on a very hot day. I sat in the back bar because it was cool in there, I had a good conversation with a girl who normally works as cabin crew for a long haul airline but is currently working for test and trace so I hope I do not get a telephone call from her on her 0300 number.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Suspended in Cascade | 4.00 | | In condition but not to my taste and horribly hazy as the pump clip warned me it would be. |

Early Saturday afternoon, this place has changed a lot since my last visit, the bar is now at right angles to what it was and a handpump has been installed. There are a couple of nice drinking booths by the window and I was allocated one of these when I entered. Each seating area is currently protected by a perspex screen from the adjacent one, table service is in operation and you settle your bill when you leave. Just two other customers at the time of my visit.

Afternoon visit and fairly quiet. A beer delivery of key kegs and polykegs was made, I had never heard of polykegs before.

| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Astryd | 3.80 | | I am not really keen on these hazy ales. |
19 Feb 2020 (ChrisE)
No cask ale tonight so I settled for a half of Wild Beer Co. Millionaire from keg dispense. I had a good chat with Steve who informed me that this pub will closing from 20 March 2020 for five days for an internal refit.

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. A refurbishment took place during March 2020 and beer is now served through a handpump.
We have visited this pub 32 times, seen 38 different beers and tried 29 of them.
