Just about got a seat by the door at about 14:00. The place was more or less full with most people eating. The persistent drizzle forcing people inside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Street Light Porter | 5.80 | | Excellent as ever, but with what seemed an even bigger hit of coffee/choc flavour. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Galactic Belgian | 6.50 | Not Tried | Had a taster, but decided on the porter. Five other pumps on with the usual (excellent) suspects. |

It was cold out so it was good to get in the pub. There were a handful of people in including a group of Americans.

Quiet tonight, 3 or 4 people in. All of Canterbury quiet it seems.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Loco IPA | 3.90 | | Superb hops, very drinkable session bitter. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Canterbury Haka | 4.10 | | Hoppy but well rounded, full bodied with a good finish. |

Late afternoon, still a few people eating, but plenty of room. Great bar staff, best in town.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gadds' & De Molen - Fresh Hop Bohemian | 6.00 | | Both Pete and I were stunned by this. Tom (?) the Canterbury Brewer was enthusing as well. Stewed fruit with citrus, but no harshness, no hint of 6% alcohol. Just superb. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo | 4.50 | | Great pint of bitter beer. |

| Canterbury Brewers - Stout Engenius | 4.10 | Not Tried | Had a taste of Pete's - it's like Street Light's younger cooler brother. |

Early on a busy wintry Saturday lunchtime. We sat upstairs and enjoyed a remarkably good pork pie, amongst other things.The pub rapidly filled up with a matureish crowd:the barmaid said it gets younger as the evening progresses. I confess to being old enough to remember when the adjacent building housed "Quine's Diner".
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Loco IPA | 3.90 | | Wonderfully characterful beer for the ABV: a deep pocket of hops with some toffee. A classic. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Street Light Porter | 5.80 | | Deep copper, some haze. Coffee beans, a long herbaceous hop finish. Serious stuff. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo | 4.50 | Not Tried | not available today, unfortunately! |
| Canterbury Brewers - Canterbury Wheat | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Canterbury Brewers - Canterbury Haka | 4.10 | Not Tried | not available upstairs |

Saturday early afternoon and I sat at the bar chatting about beer with Tom and John the brewers. Good pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo | 4.50 | | Really good standard hoppy bitter bitter that was even better when mixed with a bit of a Target hop dry hopped version. |
| Canterbury Brewers - 2012 | 4.20 | | First pint was from near the end of one barrel I think, but they pulled a new barrel through and the second pint was good. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Oktoberfest Ale | 4.80 | | Bit too sweet for me. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | Not Tried | |
| Canterbury Brewers - Street Light Porter | 5.80 | Not Tried | |
| Canterbury Brewers - Scrumpkin | 4.60 | Not Tried | Had a taster but too much spice for my palate. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Loco IPA | 3.90 | Not Tried |

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.
