FOOD+DRINK fish and beer HAS LANDED IN BROADSTAIRS The newly opened Fish and Beer in Broadstairs boasts eight exclusive craft beers, which are otherwise unavailable on the supermarket shelves; there are three lagers ranging from its house pilsner, which is brewed in Bavaria, Moritz; a premium lager from Barcelona; and the Kona Longboard, a direct import from Hawaii. The venue also has a double I.P.A, which it has exclusive rights to from Norway; Lindermans cherry Kriek, a sweet beer made from cherries; and Paulaner, a wheat bier that to this day is still governed by the Reinheitsgebot (the German purity law), which states that only water, barley and hops can be used in the production of beer. Also on the menu is Brugse Zot Brune, a brown beer direct from Belgium, along with Troubadour Obscura, a very strong stout with coffee and chocolate notes. Along with the beers, there is a well-sourced, single estate wine selection and, of course, the option of a chilled G&T or similar! As its name suggests, Fish and Beer offers a small-plate range of seafood, from scallops and tiger prawns to oysters and mussels. It takes pride in its freshly prepared seafood paella, available daily
