Real thing and "real thing" related stuff, including places, pubbing, gigs and blog posts about real thing. If you have something to offer regarding real thing that I have not covered here, please chip in. Particularly if you have something to offer concerning local pubs or other venues, home brew, beer, or cider. Cheers.

This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubs or other venues it will only return real thing pubbing / venues I have been to or plan to go to. Fingers crossed it will return those anyway...If you are interested in a more general search please try real thing on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international places...

As it turns out there are no pubs / venues concerning real thing anyway. Is there something I have missed? Please let me know!
