Description
Founded as ‘Eastwood and Sanders Fine Ales’ in 2002, after the amalgamation of The West Yorkshire Brewery and The Barge and Barrel Brewing Company, we renamed as Elland Brewery in 2006 and have been trading under that banner ever since.

We are proud to be a proper, independent, traditional micro-brewery. We’re a small team (currently ten and a half people!) and we’re involved in every aspect of running a busy brewery, we all get our hands dirty helping out in racking, delivering, filling the vans, cleaning, loading the spent grain for our local farmer Dickie to feed his cattle…you’d be surprised at what a normal day involves!

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Near black with small beige top. A very peppery/spicy brew with notes of caramel, wood, coffee, light choc. Mid-bodied and semi-drying. Very moreish and enjoyable.

Halifax Beer Festival 2023. Golden in colour. Its gin infusion dominates proceedings without being overbearing. Perhaps not session though.

Cask @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Hazy golden with a creamy-frothy head. Crisp hoppy brew, perhaps understated fruits. Its strength might account for this, although this is well enough hidden in terms of taste. Mildly creamy texture.

Hand-pulled pint at the Wrekin on Sunday 26th November 2023. Clean and clear light golden body, white crown that stayed. Nice easy going blend of semi-bittering hops and semi-sweetening malts, pleasant session Ale.
