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!

From the plastic milk bottle at Nate’s Bigtime Beer Birthday, thanks to Ian. Pours clear orange with a light, bubbly head. Crispy malt nose with light cereal notes. Medium sweet flavor, some dry leaves provide bitterness. Super dry, with some toasty grains and cereal. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Extremely dry finish with crunchy cereal and light sugar, mild grass and leaves. Decent beer. Probably my first British-made California Common.

Nate2Gs Birthday Bash at Kernel. Thanks to Harrisoni for this one - Cheers Ian. Clear gold beer, no real head. Light dry palate. A nice streak of honey in this one but not at all cloying. Mildly bitter orange marmalade hops. Semi dry finish. Alright!

Nate2Gs Birthday Bash at Kernel. Courtesy of the milkman - Cheers Ian! Clear brown beer, not much of a head. Smooth semi dry palate. Nice mild dark malts with a nice chocolate streak. Nice balance of mild hops. Well balanced and integrated and has a great drinkability.

Plastic milk jug at Nate’s High Rollers Beer Birthday Party, thanks to Ian. Pours lightish brown with a small, off-white head. Grassy, lightly roasty nose. Medium sweet flavor, notes of dry toast, great chocolate notes, cocoa, mild bitter mocha. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Dry finish, some burnt wood, cocoa. Great stuff, especially given the relatively low ABV.

Keg at The Foundry brewpub in Canterbury. An odd one this as it clearly has bits of ale and bits of lager to it. Unfiltered beer. Orange gold slight haze lasting off white head. Now that i do like even at £3.51 a pint. Its got an ale depth but a lager character. Good hops on end have the requisite bite without being showy. Really tasty. Very drinkable.

Keg at The Foundry brewpub, cask at City Arms, Canterbury. cask conditioned then kegged served through cooler with gas added. Very dark brown ale cola colour with creamy beige head. Yes its too cold but the favours are lovely. Just right level of roastyness has that undefinable drinkability. Some choc some bitter roast malt. Hops on finish too are a touch on the bitter stingy variety. Tastes fresh. Tasty stout with decent depth of flavour and depth of character. Good. cask version at City Arms Canterbury. Much fuller in the mouth much more fruit. Fruit did not come through on the keg version. Good character. Nuts and fruits. Less roasty than keg version. Richer. Tastier. And a better beer on cask. But I prefered the keg version. 3.6/5.0
