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.

Half cask ay Hopbunker.First impression was that something had gone off. It's juts the way this was brewed, with an emphasis on the caramel malts and some floral hops. Makes for an odd mix, but comes out alright in the end.
