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 handpump at The Bell, Banbury, Oxon, 22-03-10 Banbury Beer Festival Meeting. Pours warm gold with a thin white lacing for a head The aroma like of all these festival beers has become a little blunted, in this case its sweet but everything else is subtle and hard to detect (they’ve been on now for 3-4 days) but the condition and appearance is still very good as is the temperature. Nice pithy grapefruit in mouth, silky sweet, bitterness lingers, quite lovely stuff. A6 A5 F8 P4 Ov14 3.7
