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 at the brewpub. Pours mostly clear, deep gold with a foamy, white head. The nape has phenolic notes, banana chips, wheat bread. Medium sweet flavor with more notes of banana and doughy wheat bread, low bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with more of the same: doughy wheat, ripening banana, faint hay. So so.

Keg at the brewpub. Pours murky reddish brown with a creamy, light tan head. The nose holds tangy cherries, toasted barrel, earth, traces of vanilla. Medium sweet flavor with definite barrel notes, light vanilla, some torched caramel, earth, restrained tart cherries, undertones of alcohol. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming to finish with nips of woody dryness, some earth, toffee, ripening tangy cherries. Quite drinkable given the purported ABV, and it all hangs to get her fairly well.

Keg at the Foundry - Canerbury. Pours clear my hearty gold with a creamy, off-white head. The nose holds pine needles and crackery malts. Light-medium sweet flavour with more pine needles, dried citrus peel, some jammy orange, grassy bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with light pithy citrus, more bitter grass and peel, ripening orange, dried pale malts. Not bad.

Cask handpull at The Foundry 5.8% clear russet. No head. Sour ish premium bitter. Strawberry flavour. It’s a little earthy. A bit flat. A little disappointing some bitterness on the finish. Hmmm
