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!

Medium beige head. Nearly opaque black body goes deep dark brown body. Earthy chocolatey aroma with burnt mealy notes. Dry-sweet earthy cocoa taste with burnt wooden notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish earthy chocolatey aftertaste with burnt nougat notes. The flavour is very vivid, but not very complex. Still interesting. (0.5l bottle, from Clarke’s, Whitby.)

Cask-conditioned at the Red Lion, Whitehall, Bristol 3/6/2013. Deep, dark ruby red in colour with a slight, off-white head. Very easy drinking, with some sweetish berry fruits, hint of toastiness and gentle finish. Excellent.

Pub clip claimed it was a ’West Yorkshire’ Beyond the Pale on 28 May 2013 at The Fighting Cocks, Stottesdon in Shropshire. My hand-pulled pint was a clear golden colour with a thin but full and lasting white head. Citrusy hops fill the nose and mouth, this is all hops with only a mild malt content to help balance the flavours. Dry finish with a mini floral feel below the citrus front. Refreshing and almost interesting.
