Gadds Dogbolter. Marvellous.
A Ramsgate beer!
Well, since the brewery moved to Pysons Rd, it's
technically a Broadstairs beer...
Took two cases of DB to a friend's wedding in Devon last summer. Went down a treat.
Yup, it's a great beer, a real classic.
I had a bottle of Gadd's No.3 tonight, which is possibly my favourite beer in the world right now. Eddie Gadd is a craftsman who knows how to make supremely well-balanced beers - he has a modern palate but a respect for the traditions of brewing, unlike some of the more fashionable, image-conscious brewers whose beers I tend to find too aggressive and often disappointingly one-dimensional (yes, I'm looking at you, Brewdog - all mouth and no trousers).
That said, I had a bottle of Kernel Export Stout last week and I loved it - a beer with a huge wow factor.
