Last stop of the day and was only planning on having one, but then a work colleague and her husband turned up so I had to have another...oh well. There were about six hand pumps on with the usual suspects, but I can't remember them now - none of them were dark though.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo | 4.50 | | It's a bitter bitter. Great. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Canterbury Haka | 4.10 | | Notes say it was excellent so it must have been. |

15:30 visit. Maybe our paths crossed, who knows! Fairly busy with diners but found a spare seat. Having missed doing this twice recently, had to have a mini-session today. Never a disappointment with an excellant choice of craft beers on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Street Light Porter | 5.80 | | The beer of the day. A top class big un'. And a shame that all the bottled Imperial Stout had gone. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Black | 4.00 | | At 5.1% these days, this is a top tasting stout. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Left Coast Conspiracy | 5.50 | | Not seen this before. Pretty good too. |
| Canterbury Brewers - 2012 | 4.20 | | Another new one on me. Top notch too. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Topaz | 4.70 | | Good condition. |

Great welcome. Great beer. Great food. What more can you want?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Canterbury Brewers - Topaz | 4.70 | | An excellent hoppy ale |

Quite busy with diners and drinkers on a Sunday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Left Coast Conspiracy | 5.50 | | Strong golden ale with a good balance of spicy hop and biscuity malt. My score 15/20. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Black | 5.10 | | Stronger version of the stout with strong bitter roast flavours but not much hop character giving a slight unbalanced flavour. My score 15/20. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Topaz | 4.70 |  | Pale with an assertive hop character giving a quite harsh bitterenss. Dry hoppy finish. My score 14/20. |

Having decided to boycott Amazon this year I came to Canterbury to do my Christmas shopping. I had no list and only a few vague ideas. When I found myself aimlessly wandering around Debenhams' kitchenware department I knew I'd hit rock-bottom. Time for a pint.

Sunday xmas shopping - not as hellish as I was expecting, the town wasn't as busy as I feared. But here, during the eating hours (12 - 6) the place cannot always accomodate the potential custom. Shame really as the staff were working really hard to satisfy as many as possible.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo | 4.50 | | As always, superb light brown bitter |
| Canterbury Brewers - Street Light Porter | 5.80 | | As I said before, the hit of coffee seems stronger than before. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Galactic Belgian | 6.50 | | Yet another excellent brew from Canterbury. Sweet fruit backed by bitter hop - perfect balance. |

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.
