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 brewery. Clear golden orange coloured pour with a lasting loose off white head. Aroma is nice floral lavander, slightly soapy, pollen and orange. Flavour is clean base malt, aggressive hop bitterness that lingers in the back of the throat. Some nice floral hop notes but the IBU levels mean that it isn’t that sessionable. Decent cask condition, low carbonation, slightly grainy in the finish.

Cask at the brewery. Clear red amber colour with a lasting thin greyish loose head. Aroma is hedgerow berry, spicy cereal grains and slight solvent. Flavour is spicy hop, big solvent and hot alcohol and biting rough bitterness. Really rough round the edges. Some phenolics in the finish. Medium body and lowish cask carbonation. Not much to like about it.

Cask. Pours very very dark brown, with a small frothy beige head. Nutty aromas, with some hops and dark fruit hints. Very bitter in the mouth, hoppy, more nuts, raisin, hop resins, a long bitter finish. Quite good.

Tasting at the ever gracious ChrisO’s. Hazy pale gold beer, smal bubbly white head. Palate is dry and a little crisp. Fine carbonation. Light airy malt. Mildly bitter floralness. Grapefruit pith. Dry finish. Bitter linger. Not bad.
