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 13th Egham Beer Fest. It pours hazy amber with small white head. The nose is dough, farmyard, light spice, freshly baked farmhouse bread and some tropical fruit. The taste is dough, spice, light sweetness, bread, lemon, grapefruit and pear with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. I wasn’t blown away by it, but it’s a solid beer nonetheless.

Cask at the 13th Egham Beer Festival. Straw coloured with a loose white head; aroma od pineapple and other tropical fruit; the tropical fruit flavours continue in the mouth, followed by a sweet grapefruit bitterness; then a dry and sustained bitter fruitiness. Not as explosive as I anticipated, but an solid IPA nevertheless.

Bottle shared from Deanso. Pours hazy brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a little port, malty dark fruit and unfortunately glue! Made me not want to sniff too much! Flavour is light to medium sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

33cl bottle shared with Kermis. thin off white head. Hazy amber pour. Clear oak notes but the beer seems out of balance. Nice try though.

33cl @ Café Derat, Utrecht. BB 30/09/2012. Jura aged. Brought back by Erik (the owner) from his Kent trip. Cuivrée trouble, col fin beige. Arôme caramel, whisky malté sur une note rappelant la pomme et le Jura qui est faible. Palais est doux et fruité noir sur un côté boisé/barrique léger, mélangeant un style allemand mais gardant néanmoins une approche très anglaise. Le tout est léger avec un usage du chêne peut être trop discret le tout procurant en fin de bouche un ajout du Jura qui reste faiblard.
