Big works party in. Sat at the back with Ian and watched the dynamics.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Black | 4.00 | | Was expecting lots of chocolate flavours and after having had the Brown I was pleased not to find them. Nice burnt malt with some chocolate notes. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Biggleton's Brown Ale | 3.80 | | Brown beer with heavy chocolate flavours. A touch sickly for me. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo | 4.50 | | Umm, I think the recipe has changed. This was quite pulpy with strong passion fruit and melon flavours. Gone was the great ripping leafy hop profile. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Man's Gold | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Canterbury Brewers - Scrumpkin | 4.60 | Not Tried | I tried a taster. Heavy clove flavours. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Steam Lager | 5.20 | Not Tried | Tried some of Ian's. He thought it was superb. I thought it was awful - but then I don't like lager. |

Mid Saturday afternoon and a decent fullness about the place. Ran into a couple of work colleagues. Really good bar staff, offering samples to people who hadn't had the beers before from their own kit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Biggleton's Brown Ale | 3.80 | | Brown orange colour slight haze lasting beige head. Good brown Malts with a touch of aggressive bitter hops too. Tasty half mild half brown ale with this brewery's distinctive bitterness on the finish. Good full tasty malty brown ale. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Scrumpkin | 4.60 | | dark brown with lasting beige head. spice aroma. Heavy on the cloves which is one spice aroma i don't like. Ugh. Beer is fine but i hate cloves. |

| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Man's Gold | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Canterbury Brewers - Street Light Porter | 5.80 | Not Tried | |
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Black | 4.00 | Not Tried | On tap. Cask conditioned, using the same beer that appears in cask, then kegged and served using CO2 gas. Tasty stout, bit cold. |

(Sigh) I needed a pint. Were they playing jazz? Possibly. I was in too much of a daze to really tell.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Canterbury Brewers - Canterbury Haka | 4.10 | | This was phenomenal. Light summer fruit flavours perfectly complemented by a fantastically drying, leafy hop finish. |

I was asked if I wanted to try the beer before I bought it; I was asked if I was in CAMRA because there was a discount; in other words the service here is great!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Street Light Porter | 5.80 | | What a great beer this is. Black with all that vinous toastiness you get with Larkins Porter but with some great dark chocolate and chocolate powder notes. |

Stumbled across the team from Egham Club collecting the casks for their Summer beer festival.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Summer Wheat | 5.00 | | Not a great fan of wheat beers but this was competently done. Although not really to my taste there was good hop character but a very dry finish. My score 14/20. |

I came with three empty 2 pint plastic milk bottles to fill up with each of the beers to take to a beer tasting in London on the following day. I do like this place and feel very at home here. Plus I got a 10% Camra discount.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo | 4.50 | | Such a bitter bitter. Hits the spot. I actually wake up in the morning and think, "You know what? I fancy a pint of Torpedo today." First time that's happened with a beer in quite a while. |

Came here after the Kent Beer Festival. Quite busy. Sat at the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo | 4.50 | | Superb beer. Great nettley hop and solid body. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Man's Gold | 4.00 | | Lacking any zing. |

Quite busy even though it's off the high street. Disappointing to see so many people either drinking Fosters or wine. Anyway I sat at the bar and drank Torpedo.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo | 4.50 | | I'd have given this a 5 out of 5 if it wasn't for the fact it was way too cold. |

Had a swift pint before heading back home as the rain was descending on us. I do like this place but I was disappointed to see exactly the same ale lineup as the last time I was here.

The pub is found in Canterbury, Kent, CT1 2NR.
Brewery tap for Canterbury Brewers. The brewery is inside the building and may be viewed through an internal window. Upstairs and ground floor bars with the latter always open. 7 handpumps sported in each of the 2 bars. Substantial discount on real ales for Card carrying CAMRA members - at April 2013 this was 10% on own brewed beer - ask if there is a discount on food too as this is allegedly 10% too. Consists of two bar areas - one downstairs adjacent to the brewery and another up some steps to a mezzanine level. Originally located in White Horse Lane near the Cherry Tree pub. In addition to its excellent home brewed ales the pub is getting a reputation for tasty and good value food. Moved in October 2018 to a new location in Stour Street "lock stock and barrel".
We have visited this pub 144 times, seen 99 different beers and tried 74 of them.
