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!

Pours almost clear honey amber with a medium off-white head. A malty caramel and a green grassy hop aroma. A caramel sweet malty flavour with some hoppy bitterness and a decent bitter finish.

Pump clip said Elland Blonde in The Station, Oakengates Shropshire on 2nd Jan 2016, so I had a half for the tick: this was the third and final citrus flavoured golden brew I had in this pub on this occasion. The lemon aroma and taste were subdued or subtle depending on your stance, the malts trying to overpower the citrus hop base nose and flavour. The best of the three I had.

Halifax & Calder Beer Festival 2015. Black with a more noticeable strength over flavour from the original version, however the whisky influence is strong giving it a distinction.

(Cask at Kitty’s, 20151204) The beer poured deep amber and nearly clear. Its head was small, white and it lasted long. Aroma had toffee, earth and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, toffee, nettles, grass, earth, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was earthy and bitter. A nice solid bitter with nice hop profile.
