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, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival, 17th & 18th February 2012 This looked superb in the glass, great clarity and with a lovely bubbly white head. Hoppiness evident on nose but for all of its promise whilst a very pleasant beer it came across as just a little too sweet, little too much malt and not enough hoppy punch. A6 A5 T7 P3 Ov13 3.4

Cask @ Paramount, Manchester (as Paramount Porter)
Appearance - Black, very thin tan white head.
Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate.
Fairly complex taste of roasted malts, sweet dark caramel malts, espresso, some fruityness, bit earthy, bit unrefined though.
Medium body. Finish of roast coffee lingers a bit too long.
Nice porter but a bit rough round the edges.
