Description
Established in 2014 as a side brand of Brentwood Brewing to cater for the ‘craft’ market.
Elephant School Brewing is named after the Elephant School that was in the base for the army barracks, which was a depot for the Essex Regiment. The school was run by the British East India Trading Company and they trained people to ride Elephants before going out to India. The beers are not along the traditional lines of its parent and so you can expect to see some rather different samples of beers being born.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear gold with a mild, foamy white head. English yeast in the aroma, some bread, light tangerine. Light sweet flavor with notes of pale bread, light butter, more tangerine, simple white bread. Light bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. Sweet finish with continuing pale bready malt character and restrained citrusy hops. So so.

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Cask. Lightly hazy amber beer, few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light and dry with modest fine carbonation. Light malts not that sweet. The Enigma hops present here as skunky with a trace of herb and a little marmalade. Dry finish. A bit on the dry side but quite drinkable.

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Cask. Almost clear amber beer, no head. Palate is light and dry with modest fine carbonation. Light caramel malts, unsweet. Floral bitterness. Dry finish. A standard if dry bitter. The guys at the bar were offering everyone a choice of a flavoured syrup addition, most people of my age and thereabout were aghast at the idea (as was another brewer nearby) but the kids were all over this!

Colchester Beer Festival at the Colchester Arts Centre. Cask. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and mildly crisp. A mild soapy note leads to semi sweet dry malts. Mild lime. Dry and slightly spicy finish. Not bad, shame about the soapy note.

Gravity cask at the Liberty Belle, Ely. Light brown/chestnut, clear. A decent amount of light carbonation. Scent of grapefruit, birch and unripe berry. Sharp fruity bitter taste, papery dry finish. Lovely.
