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 at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a golden yellow with a small foamy white head and good lacing. The aroma has floral hops and citrus. In the mouth it starts off sweet but with some underlying bitterness, and grains to flavour. But after a while sticky citrus comes through and totally dominates the yucky finish. Not for me.

Cask at the Cock Tavern - Hackney. Pours clear yellow-gold with a fluffy, pure white head. Lightly sweet flavour with soft grassy bitterness, crispy pale grains, a little hay and biscuits. Light bodied with delicate carbonation. Finishes with fresh, crunchy pale grains, more straw, mellow grass. Easygoing and rather drinkable.
