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 handpull at The Wenlock Arms, London. Chestnut colour, lasting ivory head. Fresh on, decent malts, lovely, red fruits. OK balancing hop. Quite dry and sparkly. But this is about the red malts. Decent stuff, I like it. Like a proper Amerian red ale/amber ale. A bit like Laurelwood Organic Red, but English. Salty pork chops somewhere here. Bizarre and brilliant.

(Cask at Gallows Bird, Espoo, on 2009-01-23) Amber and clear. Light toffee aroma. Full bodied and dry palate. Vegetables, sulphur, malts, toffee and bitterness in taste. Bitter aftertaste. I suppose there has happened some contaminations because of the sulphur flavours.

Cask Conditioned at Market Porter, London
Light amber color; thin creamy head. Simple aroma. Strange flavor: the usual caramel and an unusual (yet light) burnt malt touch. Peculiar, not bad even if not my kind.

Cask conditioned at The Castle, Furnival St., London
Hazy blond color. Nice fudge/toffee aroma. Some malt flavor, with residual sweetness, low bitterness, less interesting than the aroma.

Half pint, hand pulled cask at The Dagda Bar in Edinburgh. Golden body, slightly hazy. Missing head, fragile lacing. Floral hoppy aroma. Taste of fruity hops and honey sweetness, with a decent bitterness lingering on the swallow [26.10.2008].

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 29/11/08. Golden with a slight white head. Buttery aroma wit some grassy hops. Flavour much the same with a hint of nettles and a short bitter finish. Didn’t really come together for me.
