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!

Milk jug version at Chriso’s, thanks to Ian. Golden, almost still, inviting citrus aroma. Dry, bitter flavor, a bit bland but nicely hoppy, citrus and a nice peppery finish.

Hand bottle at chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig ’11. It pours straw yellow, with no head or carbonation. The nose is straw, sweet malt, cereal and some floral. The taste is tangy lemon and lime, straw, white bread, sweet red apple and grass, with a bitter-dry finish. Okish.

Bottle at ChrisO’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011. Milk bottle, that is, thanks to Ian. Pours a nice gold with a light, filmy head. Some toast and grain in the nose. Dry grain flavor, light to medium sweet, faint toast. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Very dry finish, leafy with light grass and toast. Pretty nice.

Cask handpull at The Foundry, Canterbury. I wake up some mornings dreaming of this beer. Something that hasn’t happened in years. A most bitter, bitter. Some gooseberry on the aroma, firm biscuit body and bitter bitter bitter on finish. I love it. Yes, it may not be perfect to some people, but I just love the kick on the finish. Good beer.
