Floc Brewery Taproom is in an Early 18th-century historic pub building in Kent's Old Town. Originally a working local inn since its founding year, it retains key features like exposed brick and metal beams from earlier times. Modern renovations have kept the structure’s bones intact while updating it with industrial decor that blends seafaring heritage touches, sturdy trestle tables, benches, and anchors the space with a wood-burning stove that radiates warmth even on high-energy nights. This mix of early 18th-century foundations and contemporary craft beer culture defines its current character.

Floc Canterbury is both a brewery taproom and an evening social spot, attracting locals for weekend drinks at moderate prices. Craft beer lovers come to try seasonal offerings like Hazy IPA or DIPA, with sour beers on draught being a regular highlight. The wood-burning stove stands out in the industrial interior during colder months, perfect for long evenings of relaxed group drinking or solo visits after work.
