Breweries in Canterbury

Black Kite Brewing

Canterbury

Black Kite Brewing is a venture founded by six friends who acquired a café and microbrewery from a relocating associate. Their café operates on weekdays from 8 am to 2 pm, offering freshly prepared meals, pastries, cakes, and beverages, crafted by an experienced chef and barista. Located near Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, the establishment invites visitors from nearby attractions and businesses to stop by. The team is currently preparing to commence brewing operations, aiming to produce quality beers using local ingredients and traditional methods. Their planned lineup includes a core range of beers, alongside special small-batch brews and collaborative guest creations. The brewery's name is inspired by the rare sightings of Black Kites at the adjacent nature reserve.

Brewing Co. is a vibrant craft brewery founded in 2020 in Margate and relocated its main production and spacious taproom to Canterbury in February 2022, featuring an industrial-chic, family-friendly space with long orange benches, 12 keg taps, and an on-site food truck serving pizza.

GADDS' Ramsgate Brewery

Broadstairs

Balance is everything, in a beer, and in a brewery. Here we’ve learnt to mix innovation and change with custom and consistency. ​ Our ‘Regulars’ are those beers we’ve been making for years, are well loved and available all year round. They’re predominantly enduring Kentish style ales showcasing local hop varieties, such as the classic Northdown, and the peerless East Kent Golding. You can hang your hat on the Regulars. It’s the ‘Irregulars’, those pop-up beers that appear randomly, that keep us fresh and invigorated. Drawn from a broader pantheon of beer styles, they feature some of those hops and malts that make for a delicious contrast to our daily pint. ​ ​ ​ Whether it’s boring brown Bitter, over-hopped Pale Ale or boundary pushing playground zeitgeist beer – balance is everything, and everything in balance. ​ ALL our beers are Vegan friendly.
