Description
Although officially knowns as the 'Ramsgate Brewery Ltd' the vast majority of beers are named/labelled/released as 'Gadds', after the founders.
Therefore new beers, if marketed as 'Gadds', should be entered without a brewery name before the beer name in standard Brewver fashion.
Beers haven't been released with the 'Ramsgate' prefix for some time but there are perhaps 20 or so more historic entries that were labelled as 'Ramsgate' on release. As such these appear with a Ramsgate prefix in front of the beer name. Any further historic adds to Brewver should follow suit if this is the case.
All beers were produced by the same brewer(s) and in the same facility.
Founded by Eddie and Lois Gadd, they have been making and championing great local beer for the last 15 years. Gadds’ have been making consistently good beer for a decade and a half. Both under their own name and more recently as a contract brewers for other breweries. This side project has also allowed them to let the Gadds’ brand grow slowly and in their own time.
Their core beers have been mostly traditional, English ales made with more than a nod to Kent’s brewing heritage. Although there are some more playful beers in their seasonal and limited run beers that show a diversity and appreciation of all things beer it seems that great, traditional beers are at the heart of Gadds’.

Cask by stillage at One Inn The Wood, Petts Wood on 30th June 2026. Slightly hazy deep amber with shallow disappearing foam and spot lacing. Malty aroma. Zesty fruits and nutty malts in-mouth, and a finish of tangy citrus fruits, earthy spices and nuttiness - hazelnut. Light bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours golden yellow with a small scummy off-white head and excellent lacing. Only a vague aroma with hints of floral hops and lemon. In the mouth it is quite bitter, but with significant sweetness as well and quite juicy. Flavour has floral hops, tropical fruit and citrus with hints of spice and mango coming later. This is reasonable but somewhat anonymous.

[Cask at The Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] An amber with a slight haze and a thin white head that laces the glass completely; fresh fruity aroma with lots of citrus and some stone fruit and berries; bready body with an assertive pithy bitterness; and a lasting finish. Very tasty, a good session beer.
