Too much Kentish tourism

It is always interesting to see ones own world through anothers eyes.I have been to Ramsgate a couple of times in the recent past,even staying overnight on a road trip back to Spain with my brother on one occasion.
My first thought was my God! what has happened to the place,and on walking around my reaction was "I will be glad to get away" A good few of the old tradional seaside resorts around England have become the home of people disadvantaged by the political system,and immigrants finding it hard to get reasonably priced accommadation anywhere else.
and the old hotels, and no longer needed guest houses serving a new clientele.
But, all that said,each to his own and I am glad you enjoy your hols in Kent.
As for SN using the high gravity brewing system,I think you would find that a lot of the really large producers use this system for some of their most popular beers( your favoured Cask Bass at Marstons fror example!) and yes I do sometimes enjoy a bog standard running ale,especially at a bar crammed with " Hop hell mouth smasher" and "hop bomb palate destroyer" beers brewed in some industrial unit on second hand dairy equipment.
If you ever fancy a change of holiday destination in the UK may I humbly suggest East Anglia,the north norfolk coast would be good choice or the norfolk broads,and north suffolk.
awash with good pubs,Doggie suitable,and some of the finest beer in the country is brewed in the area. easy to reach from the Hook of Holland to Harwich ferry too.
