Visits Details
22 Feb 2025 (Jack William)
Mid afternoon- my first visit here. It was packed out mainly due to free music from the excellent band, Hullabaloo. Stayed for a while, bumped into some friends and thoroughly enjoyed the beers and music.

05 Oct 2024 (Hogan Sampling)
Extremely busy and buzzing for Gadds' green hop beer festival. Gadds was also hosting 12 casks of green hop beers from others to sample.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Four Candles - Green Hop Pale | 4.80 | | Good head and lacing. Pleasantly very hoppy tasting and moreish. |
| Shivering Sands - Castle Pale | 4.50 | | My favourite of the 4 tried at the Gadds's Green Hop Festival. Good head and lacing. A very sweet, but not sickly, moreish first hit with an exceedingly satisfyingly dry, lingering hoppy mouthfeel. |
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Good Harvest (Green Hop Beer 2024) | 3.80 | | Good head and lacing. A hoppy, dry mouthfeel. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Green Hop Ale (2024) | 4.80 | | Good head and lacing. A hoppy, oily mouthfeel with a dry, moreish aftertaste. |
