Description
Note to Brewver members:-

The majority of beers have historically been released as 'Canterbury - XYZ' so should appear in the beer listings without the brewery name.

There is also a range of beers, usually only available at the brewpub itself and smaller batch, released as 'Foundry - XYZ'. These beers therefore appear with the Foundry name first in the beer listings.

Canterbury Brewers is a traditional microbrewery and the only one based within the city walls of Canterbury. We produce a range of modern and fresh cask-conditioned ales using only the finest quality floor-malted barley, hops and yeast available. With our distinctive recipes and our beautiful new brewery situated on Whitehorse Lane, we aim to add something different to the ever-growing and vibrant micro-brew scene in Kent. The Foundry Brewery, which opened in June 2011, is in sight of Canterbury Cathedral and just off the high street, and includes a restaurant, bar and an eight-barrel brewery. Brewery tours and tastings run regularly, and our restaurant can be booked for special events and functions - just get in touch!

Cask @ The Foundry, Canterbury. Pours a ruby amber, surprisingly not completely dark for a porter though probably a traditional hue. Creamy beige head. Fantastic porter overall, lovely variety of flavours, soft roast, deep fruity nuances, robust bitterness.. very nice.

Keg @ The Foundry. Pours a clear golden amber, creamy off-white head. Caramel malt on the nose. Moderate rye sweetness to taste with a strong bitterness, a glimpse of orangey fruit, light bitter close. Decent.

Keg @ The Foundry. Pours dark, deep espresso head. Inviting aroma of coffee, vanilla, dark malt, soft roast. I'm not really a nitro fan but was too tempted by the description.. and it paid off.. very prominent vanilla presence with chocolate sauce suggestions, soft roast with a little glimpse of coffee . Very nice indeed, served nice and cool.
