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 @ Sir Norman Rae, Shipley. Black with a thin off-white creamy head. Has a lovely smooth milky roasted malt character with just about the right sweetness.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol, 2/6/2014. Deep gold with a slight, white, head. Aroma of hay, apricot sweetness and a touch of grassy hop. Flavour was malty, with a sweetcorn edge, leading to a decent, bitter finish. Ok, but not up to Elland’s usual standard.

Cask gravity at FILO, Hastings, Saturday 3rd May 2014 Looks good, clear gold with just a smattering of bubbles. A little bit of sweetcorn, soft but then with a twangyiness it has a lazy bitterness, its ok but Elland can do much better. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Cask @ Masons Arms, Todmorden. Clear gold with a small head. Hop based with a slightly dry texture. It’s not high on taste or flavours but is a fairly smooth session ale.

On cask at Cross Scythes, Norton Lees - Pitch black body with a beige lacing foamy head. Nose is roasted with heavy aromas of freshly ground coffee, espresso and dark chocolate. Taste is roasted, malty with full flavours of strong, black coffee, some chocolate and liquorice. Full body, a bit syrupy. The bitterness comes through in the finish. Gorgeous!!!!
