    Funny thing you mentioned it, ASDA are selling Jamaican Coconut drink with few pineapple chucks floating. Very refreshing I must say.

    Typo or Freudian Slip, Hoppy? I think 'chucks' is the word, as in upwards.

    We are having a mini 'Spoons festival this week among the 5 local outlets. Each pub will be showcasing a local brewer...

    Paper Moon, Dartford - Whitstable Brewery
    Flying Boat, Darford - Big Tree Cider Company
    Furze Wren, Bexleyheath - Shepherd Neame
    Wrong 'Un, Bexleyheath - Westerham Brewery
    New Cross Turnpike, Welling - Nelson

    Tomorrow is the centrepiece - a Route 96 crawl (the 96 bus links all 5 pubs) where each pub will be putting on a meet the brewer session throughout the afternoon and evening. Thanks to our FA Cup Replay I can't do it but I'll be trying a few out a few ales and ciders in Dartford tonight before & after the Darts v Margate match.

    Must admit I'm rather partial to their East India Pale Ale.

    It was a bit disappointing - they only had the Oyster Stout and Winkle Picker available. I assume they have others to put on as the week goes on but I won't get a chance to check for any more until tomorrow. They did have the Hopdaeman Incubus on again though (my BotW a couple of weeks ago) and Hogs Back Spring Ale that I had not sampled before.

    The banner has just gone up at our local JDW, £1.65 a pint.

    I must confess that I've never had any of their beers, despite the brewery being not far from here. I did like Swale Brewery's East india pale Ale, which I think was a direct ancestor of Whitstable's.
