Sheps have some really decent beers. 1698, Bishops Finger, Double Stout and the IPA are all very good, plus the seasonal ones like the Christmas Ale and Porter. I steer clear of master brew and spitfire, not because they are awful but because they are no different to a hundred other generic ales you can get anywhere.
And two pints with a meal is fine if it's a proper 3 course meal lasting between 2 and 3 hours.

To be honest mate, you can't really expect every beer from any brewery to be to your taste. I'm personally not a fan of any golden ale from any brewery, and there are Shep beers I won't drink just as there are with any brewery. I'm a big fan of badger ales but I don't like honeydew. |

Was in the mood for something different, so walked down Earl Street to the Blu Butterfly bar. An aged DJ was playing decent 80s and 90s tunes to a couple of blokes, with another fake tree on the ceiling. A couple of young ladies came in and ordered something blue, then swiftly departed. As I left, six more young ladies arrived. Not sure who this place is aimed at. Maybe pre-clubbers? I have it on good authority, that Sword, JDL and Dave U are regulars together there. |

As I absolutely abhor most music of the 1980's that would be the last place you would find me. Anyway, never heard of it until this post. |

Really the lady with gigantic lips in the green room then? No never been in there either though Jimmy Reed is a fan of this place. As I no longer frequent Maidstone, on my rare trips I tend to stick to places I like where I know people from the past. |

We should do a crawl of Maidstone’s less well known drinking venues. The Social Bar, MuMu’s Irish theme pub, The Bier Keller, Players lap dancing club. You forgot the Spitfire Lounge |

Right, since the fall of the Swan, where is the best place to watch football near the ground? Feel there's a real lack up that end of town to watch televised games, and the only one i've found is the Duke Of Marlbrough but that's usually quite busy. Anywhere else??

A small walk, but the Old House At Home is looking good after its refurb, and even had a Championship game on last week. Doom Bar is now £2.20 midweek and £2.40 weekends, down from £3.60 before lockdown. Although those prices are attracting a slightly different clientele. Still the best proper pub in the town centre. Does it still have the historic stones photos on the wall? |

I will be in there at 13.30 fir pre match beers, prices very reasonable. |
