- via @anthonydawson: Arkells Kingsdown Ale is a very nice pint. Not as good as the other 3!!
- via @anthonydawson: third up is Purity, Pure UBU at 4.5% is far more drinkable than the citrusy Oakhams. This is a lovely pint.
- via @anthonydawson: The Crosse Keys, Bishopsgate. First up is Oakham's Oblivion. Very nice citrusy pint at 5.7%.
- A fine pint of Moorhouse's Pride of Pendle 4.0% at the George and Dragon in Headcorn.
- via @anthonydawson: Oakham Kaleidascope at 4.7% is an excellent ale. Very tasty indeed.
- via @anthonydawson: The 8.8 is a bit sweet but very nice. Shame it's 8.8 actually.
- via @anthonydawson: Quercus Brewery Stormbrew is a 5.0% Porter that is quite chocolately but very drinkable.
