The Joiners Arms, West Malling

Popped in for a quicky to try the Sam Adams Boston Lager brewed under license by Shepherd Neame. Rather good, I thought, but over �4 a pint????

Price of three pints of bitter "down south" �10.50. Price of 5 pints and a lager in Nellie's �11.10. You can't beat it!

Lovely pub.

The Bull Inn, West Malling

The Youngs is still here, but when you're shifting a barrel a day it would be mad to take it off.

However: This pub focusses on fantastic beer produced in Kent (and near surroundings). On the other four handpumps we see Kent Brewery, Old Dairy, Whitstable, Westerham, Goachers, and many others.

Last night's line up was: Old Dairy Copper Top, Whitstable Native, Whitstable Renaissance Ruby Mild Mild, and Kent Brewery Spring Wheat.

There is also a new handpump dedicated to real cider - last night's was a crispy 7.5% "House Cider".

No food these days, but it's a thriving venue for local drinkers who enjoy a range of well-kept ales.
