About
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’.

Bottle from Beer Merchants. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of dried leaves and toffee apples. Flavour of earth, caramel and copper. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A beautiful beer. Well balanced and subtle. This should be scored much higher than it is.

Can at home, picked up from the brewery, 20/07/21. Clear golden with a good sized lasting just off white cap. Nose is tangerine, grass, crisp malts, citric sherbets. Taste comprises orange zest, grass, light minerality, pale malts, melon, toasted grains. Light to medium bodied, fine to spritzy carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness. Top notch AF affair ... crisp and refreshing with a good flavour profile ... only cost £1.25 IIRC so priced very well.
