Nice list of beer there. I've had the dry hopped Surrey Hills Greensand (from Cobbetts in Dorking, fab ale shop) and it was rather yummy

I have a prior engagement in Margate but my recommendations would be Shamblemoose, Old Dairy (two new beers chaps?), Kent and Canterbury Brewers. Surrey Hills also pretty reliable and the newish Clarence and Fredericks I have only tried once but that was good.

As always...your mouth may vary!

Would your prior engagement be at Thanet beer festival by any chance? Watch out for our IRS (recommend 1/3 pint only) :bonk and the Czech mate! Not new beers, just not brewed very often.

Can't be arsed to keep changing this bit, so, drinking some beer and wanting to brew many more!

Sir, you are drunk! Yes madam, and you are ugly, but in the morning I shall be sober! - WSC

I had Tsar Top at Dover this year...pretty bloody early on Saturday morning too #-o , as it had been pretty well hammered on the Friday apparently and was tipped so much it seemed to be defying the law of gravity. Didn't want to miss it, though the rest of the day is a bit hazy.

You have two new beers at Egham though, which is what I was getting at?
