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!

Bottleshare at Craft Islington. Thanks to Dan the man. Almost opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, soft, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft dark malts, thin and tangy, little tangy dark chocolate. Modest tangy dark fruits. Some plum liqueur. Light finish. Not bad, bit left field to be be easily drinkable.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Canterbury Pig Iron 2016 (by Canterbury Brewers):
Aroma: 9/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 8/10, Palate: 4/5, Overall: 17/20, MyTotalScore: 4.1/5
11/V/19 - 33cl bottle from the brewery, shared @ home, BB: n/a - (2019-701)
Shout-out to the brewery: pretty lame to put up a sign saying: all bottles £3, and then charge me £5.50 or something similar for this one...
Clear dark purple brown beer, no head. Aroma: lots of dried fruits, bit spicy, mined pies, alcohol, soft roast, malty. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very vitter and hoppy, soft roast, sweet malty touch, some strawberry jam, sugary. Aftertaste: very dry, bitter hops, harsh roast, some alcohol, chocolate notes, jam, bit oxidized, mocha, dates and figs, nice one!
