Another bored journalist at work:https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2022/aug/14/20-best-waterside-pubs-uk

Only two for me:The Pandora Inn many years ago, and The Green Dragon Inn more frequently.

Kent:

Kent-The Quiet American: 4.2%abv. very pale:zesty and earthy. My BOTW.

Plans afoot in The Weald. Capital chap,Mr Hukins.https://www.kentonline.co.uk/tenterden/news/microbrewery-tap-room-and-holiday-lets-set-for-farm-270869/

Snippet from Stan Hieronymous' Hop Queries:- Growers in the Pacific Northwest harvested more metric tons of Citra alone than farmers in New Zealand, Australia, France, Spain, England, South Africa,...

Kent:

Only With Love-Big Champion Session IPA:4.9%abv.Arboreal,citrus.A bit lacking in the malt bill to rate 4,though I did enjoy it.
Siren Craft-Titanic Turmoil: 10.5% abv.Barrel aged stout.In...

Kent: unscheduled.

Old Dairy Brewery-Table Beer 3.5%abv.A light and hazy pale, cucumberishly refreshing on a hot day.Excessively priced at £4.80, seeing it was taken at source.Old Dairy Brewery

E TA left this review about The Thomas Tallis

I had been trying to visit this one for some time, having heard great things, and my Spem in Allium was definitely rewarded – it was a brilliant...

Kent:
Angels and Demons (again.): Bombay Social 3.8%abv. A cracking beer at any time, especially so on a day of ennervating heat. My BOTW.

Twelve for me,many of which pre-date my involvement with PUG, or indeed BITE.

The Cock Inn. Traditional country pub.

Kent:

Angels and Demons: Evil Thieves 5.1% abv.Vibrant, as good as ever.My BOTW.

Kent:Unplanned visit due to changing events.

Cellar Head-Summer Pale Ale.4%abv.Hazy grassy citrus.My BOTW.

Kent. Didn't think I'd make the pub this weekend.

Sharp's-Atlantic Pale. 4.2%abv.Uninspired but in perfect condition at the newly reopened Swan Inn
Canterbury Ales-Kentish Best. 3.7%abv Hmmn....

Jinx lifted:Swan Inn reopened last week, so I took the opportunity to look in.Now on 14.

The Barrow House is now trading under the original name of The George.

Flippin'eck! My visit to The Harrow predates BITE and PUG: I need to return, though we're not over that way much now.

Three for me-Harrow,Low House and Black Horse, though that was in the eighties,so no review on this or any site.I contemplated revisiting back in April, but there wasn't enough times between trains.

Agreed!

Kent:

Pig and Porter-Lilac Time MILD:3.8%abv.Traditional light bodied dark MILD.Oaty goodness, berry fruit.My BOTW.

Now on 13! Dunno when I'll be able to break the jinx. Nothing much planned until a few days in Cambridgeshire late Summer, but I'm sure serendipity will lend a hand.

Essex:

Bishop Nick-Heresy: 4%abv.Workmanlike English Golden ale.Floral citrus,mineral backbone.A great improvement on an earlier experience of Bishop Nick.By default, my BOTW.

Poked my head round the door during a brief spell in Durham in the mid '70s, only to find there was no real ale. My loss. Spent most of my pub time in the Half Moon for the Bass, and lunchtimes in...

Undoubtedly,The Royal Oak. I'm not a town pub regular, or town lover,but if I had to name one it would have to be this.

Kent:

Ramsgate Brewery (Gadd's)-Thoroughly Modern MILD 6%abv.Luscious,malty amber beer.More hops than I'd expected tempered the inherent sweetness.Grand. My BOTW.

Now on twelve, after a (semi)abortive visit last weekend.
