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!

Foundty helles 4.1% cask clear gold lasting white head. Yeasty hoppy aroma. Not huge carbonation in the the mouth. Pleasant flavours and good hoppy bite on finish. Most people would take this as a golden ale i am sure. Fine 3.1/5. on keg gold slight haze lasting thick near whit head. Fresh subtle yeast and subtle hop aroma. Far more carbonated than the cask version. Still good hops on the finish. Some harsh bite from the gas. Yes pretty decent and likeable 3.3/5
