Message Theydon_Bois P admin beers 40415 º places 1239 º 00:03 Fri 3/21/2014 Just noticed Ian has cleared 500 Kent ratings. Relatively easy pickings these days for Greater London but worth a thumbs up for one of the other 45 counties
Message Erlangernick beers 6 º places 2 º 00:16 Fri 3/21/2014 Christ, you lot have 46 counties?
Message jjsint P beers 7711 º places 1334 º 01:25 Fri 3/21/2014 Nice one. Also noticed he surpassed 12500 ratings!!
Message imdownthepub P beers 26028 º places 2088 º 02:15 Fri 3/21/2014 All hail the King of Kent. 500 ratings in 1 county takes some doing. Just a few years back that many beers in Kent would have been unthinkable.

Just a few years back that many beers in Kent would have been unthinkable. Thanks everyone. True, Kent did see a more than doubling of breweries in the county in the past 3 years. A bit like London, for the size of the county we were massively under-represented with breweries. We could still do with more and also for the traditional ones to brew the odd new beer now and again (Goachers, Hopdaemon). New ones to spring up have been:- Old Dairy (bit older to be honest) Canterbury Brewers Canterbury Ales Hop Fuzz Time & Tide Wantsum Rockin’ Robin Musket Ripple Steam Pig & Porter (taken over the now defunct Royal Tundbridge Wells) Caveman Kent Tonbridge Spencers Abigale (new closed) Mad Cat I’ve been helped by two things, the 66 beers from Canterbury Brewers, I think I may have missed about 5 of their beers since they started and secondly that Neil at the Firkin Ale House micropub tries to get in beers from every new Kent brewery. I also went through 100 for Devon and Herefordshire recently which I was very pleased with. I need 6 more for 900 in Greater London which I hope to do on Saturday after my cycle ride from Limehouse Basin to Hayes on the canal tow paths.

Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 23:48 Fri 3/21/2014 Let me tell you about my life they say I am a man of the world as Peter Green once sang

Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 23:56 Fri 3/21/2014 Right it’s now 6.49 am on a sunny Saturday morning and I am hurtling through Kent on my way to London on the train for a bit of a cycle and a few beers. Off at Stratford for the 20 mins down to Limehouse Basin and the start of the Regents Canal. 13 miles later I will be at Paddington for the 18 miles on the Paddington Branch of the Grand Union canal to Hayes. Then its another 10 or so miles to Bermondsey for the 6 Greater London ticks I need for 900. May see some of the London crew if you are about
