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. Pours amber and fairly clear, a very small white head. Aroma- fruity undertones, but also a malt presence. Taste is a smooth balance between fruity hops and the malts. Easy drinking and quite tasty.

Draft @ The Foundry, Canterbury. Dark red/brown colour. Nose of red berries, vinegar, red wine, whisky, caramel and chocolate. Very well balanced. Very nice tart notes, blends well with the subtle sweet and light bitterness. Very nice!

Cask. Appearance is quite a dark amber, a small off-white head with tight bubbles. Aroma- smells freshly brewed- very malty, digestive biscuit, hops, mash tun. Taste- lemon, dry hops, dusty cupboard, watery mouthfeel. This used to taste different. In bottle- much crisper and hoppier, wheaty malty undertones. Better.
