About
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!

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Cask @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Dark brown with an off-white head. Heavy textured but not in taste, with its wood ageing prevalent and almost lambic style sourness. Certainly an atypical version of this award winning brew.
