3-5 Heathfield Industrial Estate, Heathfield Street, Elland, HX5 9AE, England
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, on gravity at the Avon Valley Beer festival, 4/6/2015. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Leafy hops, a touch of hedgerow fruit, sweetish malts and a dryish finish. OK.

Clear golden beer, white head, light and fruity in taste and smell. A bit of hop but not a lot else going on. Alright though.

Cask @ Kings Head, Huddersfield. Golden with a creamy head. Has a crisp hopped character, which given its strength is surprising. There is a mild fruitiness and a very mild spice notable in its aftertaste. Malty in its nose.

Cask @ Cask, Manchester. Copper-gold with a thin head. Has a generally sweetened character, with some hops. Certainly a golden ale in style.

Cask pint on 30th March 2016 in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates Shropshire. Clear and clean golden body, the head a white wispy affair. Light malty nose and taste, semi-sweet with a mix fruit bowl flavour. Decent.

30th March 2016: cask in The Station, Oakengates Shropshire. Another golden beer with a citrus flavour. Decent enough, with a grapefruit taste and aroma: just fed up with the style and type of beer.

Cask, half-pint at Babington Arms (JDW), shared with Finn. Decent lacing from a remaining white head. Amber-gold coloured body. Floral hops on the nose, mid-sweet. Wheat fruity flavours, hints of bread and lemon. A bit floury in the mouth. Okay(Derby 21.02.2016).

Cask at the Queen Hotel (JDW), Aldershot. Pale golden amber with a ring of white head; bitter herbal aroma; peppery taste with a malty body; and a dry biscuity finish with a lingering bitterness. Rather good.
