Welcome to The Foundry BrewPub, home to Canterbury Brewers & Distillers, discover our craft & passion
(445)

The Foundry was originally a Victorian

iron foundry that produced cast metal items that went all over the

empire, from street lighting in New York to early torpedoes for the

British Navy and most things in between. We take inspiration from the

original foundry founder, William Henry Biggleston, and his company's

ingenuity, originality and entrepreneurial spirit, as well as the stunning

building they left us. We have an extensive menu of traditional pub food and modern

favourites, plus a wide range of beers and ciders, and we regularly host

live music and stand up comedy.

Say hello to our newest heritage ale, Sword's Point!

Grown on our Canterbury Christ Church University campus, and brewed by The Foundry Brew Pub, Canterbury., Sword's Point is our newest limited edition green hop ale! The incredible new label design was created by CCCU Graphic Design Society member, Jessica Fry, based on the Altar of the Sword's Point at Canterbury Cathedral, which was installed 40 years ago as of 2026.

The sculpture on the altar was created by Giles Blomfield and represents the four swords used by knights to assassinate Thomas Becket in 1170. This altar was the first new altar built for the cathedral in 448, and is located on the wall above the spot where Becket was slain.

A massive thank you to CCCU Chaplaincy and everyone who is involved with the creation of our yearly ale, from picking the hops to getting it on the shelves! You can try Sword's Point for yourself from the CCCU Canterbury Campus Food Court, or by visiting the Foundry Brewpub on Stour Street!

Something new is growing at The Foundry 🍄 Spent grain left over from brewing is now being used to grow gourmet mushrooms at their new farm site in the Kent countryside, and the first crops of oyster and pearl mushrooms are being harvested. It's an early milestone for a site that's becoming home to brewing, growing and experimenting, and part of the next chapter for ANNO Distillers 🌾

We now have a Via Francigena tile up at the doors of The Foundry!

It's a wonderful reminder of the journeys people have take and still take to this day to get to Canterbury.

Starting in Rome and going through Switzerland and France. The Francigena Britannica connects Southwark Cathedral to Canterbury and onto Dover.

It's another reason for us to enjoy the pleasures of running a brew pub, hearing travellers stories and offering them a drink, meal and place to rest.

We thank those walking these routes and the communities within them.

You'll always be welcomed at The Foundry!

Lets call this live action realtime!

Apple Pie Moonshine being bottled today with Simon and Niko over at the farm.

Getting bottled and boxed up ready for labelling.

We're getting stocked up, are you? Available online now.

Our Apple Pie Moonshine is fragrant and dangerously smooth at 44.5%. Spiced apple on the nose, a gentle heat on the finish, and a story worth telling.

Small batch. Grain to glass. Canterbury made.

THE WORLD'S STRONGEST GIN. BUT IT'S THE FLAVOUR THAT MAKES IT SPECIAL.

Did you know we have something rather extraordinary in the Anno collection?

Anno Extreme 95 – the world's strongest gin at an incredible 95% ABV.

But here's what makes it truly special. It's not simply about the strength. It's about the remarkable concentration of flavour.

This beautifully crafted Kent dry gin is so intensely aromatic and full of flavour that just 5ml is enough to create a delicious, full-flavoured G&T.

That's a tiny measure, delivering all those wonderful gin botanicals without needing a traditional-sized serving.

It's certainly not your everyday bottle of gin, but for the gin enthusiast who thinks they've tried everything, it makes a rather extraordinary gift. 🎁

We're delighted to have Anno Extreme 95 currently in stock, and it's one of the most unusual spirits in our collection.

A little really does go a very long way.

🍸 Discover Anno Extreme 95 here:

95% ABV. Always measure carefully, dilute before drinking and enjoy responsibly.

£5 gin and tonics Monday-Thursday! And trust us we have enough gins to try to keep you going this half term!
