We are proud & lucky to be the FIRST PUB in Folkestone to stock the LEAS LIFT ALE! A 3.8% locally brewed pale ale with a benefit in every glass. For every pint drunk 10p goes towards the Lift trust so as you quaff this damned fine ale you can reassure yourself that you're providing a bit more longevity for your towns most iconic landmark. Well done you!! Official launch this Thurs but ale on sale from Weds.
This is part of my website The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first moved here in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues + things, + I know it was a useful reference for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
