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 Chelmsfaasarhd Beer Fest. A mild haze on this deep gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Light and slightly grainy pale malts, sweet enough. Light cooling pine. Typical Camra fest hoppage, as in, mild juicy citrus that is mostly ripe with a touch of peel. A little floral citrus before a light and semi dry finish. Decent and drinkable.
