Silence!

Buntingford Silence, a pale, hoppy ale, weighing in at 5.2% ABV will be available this weekend, replacing the Common Conspiracy. Buxton Moor top should last into this evening when Banks's Mild is lined up to replace it. Abigale Samphire, always a fast mover, wil run out this morning, with Reeve's Ale from Canterbrew waiting on the sub's bench.

Topless!

It looks like I was being slightly over ambitious in my predictions for the weekend. Lagonda is, indeed, up and going well, as is Gadds' 5 but it looks like the Moor Top will have to wait until the middle of the week.

Mild Outlook(3)!

Black Prince has given way to Theakston's Mild at the top of the blackboard, with Old Dairy Red Top selling well and Gadds' Thoroughly Modern Mild not expected to last the lunchtime session. Marble Lagonda should be up by this evening.

Mild Outlook(2)!

Currently available, we have Wantsum Black Prince plus Gadds' Seasider and Thoroughly Modern Mild. Theakstons Mild is waiting impatiently in the wings and another tub of the lovely Buxton Moor Top should be with us for the weekend.

Mild Outlook!

As many of you will know, May is CAMRA's Mild Month and, over the next couple of weeks, The Conqueror will be featuring milds from Gadds', Wantsum, Theakstons and Banks's. A new cooling system was installed last weekend, courtesy of the Ramsgate Brewery and the ales are now coming out in even better nick than before. Current offerings are Moor Top from Buxton (the palest ale I've ever seen and utterly delicious), Canterbury Brewery's Prince's Ale and the ever popular Gadds' Number 3. Watch out for Wantsum 1381 and Old Dairy Blue and Red Top in the near future.

Newcomers!

Buntingford Twitchell, a 3.8% pale ale from Hertfordshire made its debut at the Conqueror yesterday and will line up with Old Dairy Blue Top and Wantsum Hengist over the weekend. Also new, thanks to one of our regulars, are two additions to the Mustard Menu: Schwerter Medium and Schwerter Chili, from an historic mustard mill in Westfalia. Delicious!

It's Here!

A brand new beer is available today, exclusive to the Conqueror. Gadds' Smooth, a nitro-keg version of Gadds' Number 4 is the brewery's first attempt at pressurised beer. Using German Erstenavril malt, Chinese hop pellets and water from St Jude's well on the Isle of Sheppey, brewer Eddie Gadd has created a beer to rival even the great John Smith's Smooth. Gadds' Smooth has a flowery aroma with a sweet bitterness and a finish reminiscent of Czech dates. Ten pence for every pint ordered will go to The Conqueror's chosen charity, the Medway Queen Preservation Society.
