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!

13th June 2015: Cask half-pint in The Station, Oakengates. and the prize for the most boring pump clip goes too....... this beer! Luckily the actual beer is a bit more exciting. Clear golden pour with a white head that gave lacing. Multi fruit aroma and taste with an initial sweetness that slowly turned more citrus and dry as the flavours mellowed and sorted themselves out in the mouth. Decent.
