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!

14th Aug 2018; third of a pint in a five beer flight at the brewery (Foundry Brew Pub). Cask, white head on a clear golden body. More malty in the aroma although there were light citrus notes in both the nose and taste, decent quaffing ale.

@ Foundry, Canterbury. Hazy brown/red colour, beige foam. Nose is strawberry jam, lots and lots of it. Taste is light sweet, tart strawberry notes, malty. Not bad as a fruit beer, but I'm not a fan of strawberry jam.
