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 Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Hazy deep golden firm head. Lovely aroma of salty tangerine peels. Dry with medium body and soft mouthfeel. Zesty orange, ripe fruit and resin. Really bitter finish. Successful marriage of US hops and English brewing traditions. Resinous bitter hampers quaffability somewhat, but otherwise excellent.

Cask half-pint, hand-pulled on 8th Oct 2015 in The Station, Oakengates Shropshire. Yet another golden citrusy beer from Yorkshire. It was OK, but I am tired of them.
