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.

31/5/2019. Cask at the Cherry Tree Beer Festival, Woodbridge. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of hops, flowers, citrus, light tropical fruit, caramel, lemongrass and a hint of biscuit and banana. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight creamy texture, soft carbonation. Bittersweet and some dryness to finish. Quite liked this.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Real Ale Festival, July 2018. Pours dark with thin tan head. Aroma presents prominent marshmallow, some chocolate perhaps. Taste has a good marshmallow presence, smooth and sweet with a long marshmallow linger on the finish. Decent.
