Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Fuggles Beer Cafe

Shop conversion that is nothing like as dull as it looks... Narrow, elongated bar with little natural light apart from the first few tables by the front windows, and plainly furnished with décor largely comprising a selection of breweriana. However, as a 'beer café', the focus is rightly on the bar area about half-way to the back. Six handpumps on the counter, reliably dispensing a selection of interesting beers in a variety of styles plus cider, but on this occasion I tried two of the genuine Oktoberfest beers - Löwenbrau (£7.20) and Hacker-Pschorr (£6.80) - from the array of about a dozen keg taps on the bar back. Also has a very good selection of bottled beers from the UK and overseas in the fridges. Well worth seeking out.

Probably the best source of interesting beer in Tunbridge Wells, still obviously as Paul describes in his visit a month ahead of mine. The barman was very enthusiastic in describing the beers and offering tasters, maybe a little too much so while I was deciding what to have, but better keen than disinterested. I ended up with a keg Gun Scaramanga, a beer I have had several times before but was still plied with a taster by Mr Keen beforehand, followed up by a pint of Only With Love Reboot on cask which was excellent. Good place.

With 6 cask pumps (2 for cider) and well over a dozen craft keg taps, this really is a destination bar for beer-lovers. There's more in the fridges as well, including a Belgian selection. Food doesn't extend much beyond cheese toasties, but there are no less than 8 varieties to choose from.

Notice boards list plenty of "coming soon" events and ales - my visit coincided with "Dark Life" - a celebration of dark beers, so I opted for a pint of Swannay Brewery's Dark Munro - a single hop mild. It was as good as I expected it to be.

Further positives were the knowledgeable service and the reasonably restrained keg prices (with the exception of a few top of the ABV-range specials). Music was pitched at a good background level and fitted the cool vibe about the place.

All in all, there's plenty to like about this bar, and I'd happily return to this one or any others they might open in the future.
