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 dispense into an English half pint jug at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - Jan ’12 . Pours copper / amber in colour with a white head. Slightly floral and sweet on the nose with a touch of background malt. On the palate quite a malty taste - but not OTT, something grainy or biscuity in there, a little hopping and a bitter finish. Adequate body for the ABV and beer style, fairly thin but OK.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 26/04/2012. Reddish copper with a slight, off-white head. Fruity aroma with some leafy hops and touch of caramel. Flavour had more fruit, cereal malts and a decent, bitter finish. Fine.
