Early evening visit. My first here since the venue opened. Rather subdued lighting and found the beer choice difficult to read being in white ink on glass next to pumpclips. Obviously a friendly sort of place.
Moot Brew - Waystone | 3.80 | | Missed it was hazy, when ordering. Murky bland brew that could have been improved by more condition and mouthfeel. Did not enjoy |
Only With Love - The O.G. Best Bitter | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
Elusive - Cityspace | 4.50 | Not Tried | Advertised as hazy so overlooked |
Three Acre - Ruby Porter | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
26 Jul 2023 (Dosser)
Lynnes birthday so out for a pub crawl, procecco, pizza and beer. 4 beers on and rising prices here. One beer on at £6.80 a pint, one at £4. Big difference.
Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | | Very nice. £4.80 a pint. 12 minutes wait to be served. One bloke couldn't cope here today. |

Afternoon visit to the newly crowned local poty. Beers have gone up in price and were very cold, but a popular selection was on offer.
Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Ice cold and £4.40 a pint. But enjoyable and flavoursome. |
Titanic - Plum Porter | 4.90 | | £4.20 and ice cold on a wet afternoon. Very nice despite the temperature. Of the beer not the cold day! |

3D (a brand of Epic Beers) - Craic on | 5.00 | | Very cold and tired chocolate milk stout |
11 Aug 2022 (Dosser)
4 beers on. Very efficient cooling system here.
Howling Hops (Brewed at Hackney Wick) - Miles Away | 5.00 | | Cold and hoppy. What was needed on a hot evening. Magical man entertained us. Sort of. |
RCH - Old Slug Porter | 4.50 | | Cold but lacked flavour but still good. |

My first visit to this new addition to the Thanet micropub scene. Doing a roaring trade this afternoon with all tables occupied. Well worth a visit and handy for the railway station.

Shivering Sands - Maunsell Bitter | 4.00 | | |
Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | Not Tried | |

First visit. 6 beers on all at £4 a pint. 2 could be had at mind the gap 25% cheaper. Most expensive micropub we found in Broadstairs today. Think landlor needs to check prices in other micros not the sheps pubs.
Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | Nice pint |
Shivering Sands - Ribersborg Stout | 4.70 | | Nice. |
