Sunday evening - a number of drinkers in. Relaxing atmosphere. 7 Canterbury ales on hand pump - impressive. New one - Hop Doctor - had a taster - was expecting something a little more hoppier - I'll wait.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo4.50ExcellentExcellent condition - great hoppy bite and clearly travels well all 3 metres from brewery to pump.
Canterbury Brewers - Revenge7.40Excellentmmmm sticky-lip like a barley wine - enough body to send it out issuing parking tickets. Why it made me think of Lovely Rita is anyone's guess.

Met Ian here. It was quiet. The conversation was as good as Radio 4's Moral Maze.

Canterbury Brewers - Loco IPA3.90ExcellentAggressive nettly hop. Light body. Really nice

Early evening - only a few drinkers in but expecting a rush if the number of bar staff was anything to go by. Incongruous background music from the Salvation Army just across the lane.

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.
