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!

Bottle shared at CBC - Clerkenwell, London during the 1st Birthday Party. Thanks to Ian for sharing his local wares. Pours clear amber with a frothy, white foam head. Dry, bready malt aroma. Light to medium sweet flavor with modest, semi-ripe fruits, faint dry caramel. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Decently sweet finish, some melon, sugar. Not a traditional dopplebock by any means, but it’s nice enough.
