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, handpump at Lamb & Flag, Oxford, Sunday 3rd August 2014 Pours dark chestnut with a light beige head. A tiny bit warm but taste is a little smokey. The name is apt, it does feel cobbled together from odds & sods, middling fruitiness, a bit malty, not bad. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Chelmsford Summer Beer Fest. Cask. Clear dark brown beer, few pale tan bubbles for a head. Palate is dry with modest carbonation. Thin dark malts but carrying roasty bitterness and a touch of coffee. Hops are pretty bitter and a touch nettle like. Trace of citrus. Light dry finish. Long bitter linger. Solid.

Bree Louise. Cask. Lightly hazy dark brown beer, no real head. Smooth palate, light fine carbonation. Smooth malts, some caramel sweetness. Smoke is obvious but avoids dominance. Little candy fruit floral sweetness in there. Light dry finish. Kinda works.

Draft at Pigs Ear 2013 - London. Pours black-brown with a fine, bubbly tan head. Decent beer. Notes of light roasted malts, char, burnt toast, mild milk chocolate. Light bodied with fine carbonation; fair condition. Finishes lightly dry with cocoa and mild earthy bitterness. Alright, especially for a novelty beer.
