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 stillage at the Foots Cray Rugby Club Beer Festival, April 2015. Amber pour with a white head. Orchard fruit and caramel aroma. Lots of sweet fruit and spice in the flavour. Not bad.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Horse and Jockey, Litchfield on 25th April 2015. Clear light golden pour with a full white head. Strange aroma and taste, dry grapefruit and other semi-sour citrus notes throughout didn’t do it for me at all. Others may well love this style, but I am fed up to the teeth with them. Scored objectively.

3rd April 2015
Hazy golden - amber beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. The malts are thin and very slightly lactose and thin malt cream. Touch of apple. Pithy citrus, mild marmalade. Floral bitterness. Pretty dry and bitter finish. Slightly skewed but okay.
