Canterbury Brewers
Brewpub
in Canterbury,
Kent,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Foundry Brew Pub (Canterbury Brewers)
Established in 2011
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 Foundry Brewpub. Clear gold thin white head. Its a hoppy estery beer. Wow thats quite unusual. Its like a half belgian estery blond and a half demi ipa. Terrific hoppy aroma. Still not sure the peachy estery belgian yeast goes well with intense hops but that may just be me. A little still on the condition. The hops are outstanding. Good but still not sure belgian blond west coast ipa works.

On tap at Foundry Brewpub. Clear dark brown lasting cream head. Good dark malts. Tasty as hell. Lovely depth and length on this. One of the best dunkels i have had. Crazy good. Hoppy choc and some ashtray smoke. Good mouthfeel. Excellent beer.

ChrisOs Easter Tasting. Hazy gold amber beer. Short lived white head. Light smooth palate. Semi dry with mild carbonation. A little malt, slightly caramel, provides a base for nice mellow but tart hops. Mild fresh marmalade. Some bitterness from the Belgian yeast. Semi dry finish. Mildly bitter aftertaste. Canterbury continue to impress.

Bottle (thanks to Ian) at Chriso’s Easter tasting 2012. It pours deep amber-brown, with a thin beige head. The nose is toffee, dark fruit - plum, prune, blueberry and honey. The taste is cherry, prune, plum, jam, golden syrup, caramel, coffee, cola cubes, wood and some alcohol warmth. Medium body and low carbonation. Perhaps a touch too sweet, but good all-round.

Bottle (thanks to Ian) at Chriso’s Easter tasting 2012. It pours hazy golden yellow, with a thin white head. The nose is citrus, candied peel, spice, peach, nectarine and melon. The taste is hay, spice, citrus pith, underlying sweetness, pear and melon, with a dry, spicy finish. Medium body and low-moderate carbonation. Decent enough, but really my sort of thing.
