The Board Room, Folkestone

It may be mostly fabricated out of containers, but this Iron Pier brewery taproom is much more appealing that one might at first expect. Located to the east of the main Goods Yard facilities, the picture windows in the bar share the unobstructed view of the English Channel with the wooden benches out front. The elongated rectangular space has the bar and general seating area to the right of the entrance, with shuffleboard tables on the left-hand side and four dartboards behind that. The usual selection of the brewery's own beers, selected ciders and a few cocktail mixes from a total of 16 taps on the bar-back was supplemented by three 'fest biers'. These came from Verdant, Newbarns and Donzoko, and I settled on the latter (£6.60).
