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 handpull at The Foundry Canterbury. Clear pure gold colour lasting white head. Lime and almost Germanic hops on the aroma. Certainly different and interesting in the flavour. It’s a pale ale with the slightly metallic green hop flavour. Decent hop. Interesting and likeable if you put a bit of effort into it

Cask handpull at The Foundry Canterbury. Reddish russet colour with a slight haze. Some fruit, some rye, some good hop on the finish. Like it’s bigger brother but more of a session beer. Slightly toned down but still full of flavour.

Cask @ The Foundry. Unclear orange body with a nice off-white head. Pleasant aroma of hay, flowers and perfume. Flavor is mild malty, spicy, fruity and floral. Fine balanced body with a delicate aftertaste leaving just enough bitterness at the end. A truly fine and style appropriate Saison.

Cask @ The Foundry. Slightly hazy golden body with a nice off-white head. Aroma has refreshing citric fruit and not so much more. Flavor is refreshing, pale malt, citric fruit and pleasant bitterness. Medium body and pleasant fruity bitter aftertaste. Easy going, refreshing thirst quencher with a pleasant fruity bitter flavor. Nothing really specially, but well balanced and pleasent.

Keg, as Punch IPA @ The Foundry. Slightly hazy golden body with a small off-white head. Aroma has malt and caramel with a hint of butterscotch. Flavor is pale malt, fruity, moderate bitterness and slightly sour, probably from a light infection. Medium body and aftertaste. Drinkable but not to impressive.
