Description
Elgood & Sons is a family-owned brewing company situated in the heart of ‘Fen’ country in Cambridgeshire, England. Home to Elgood’s is the North Brink Brewery which was established in 1795, and was one of the first classic Georgian Breweries to be built outside London.
In 1878 it came under the control of the Elgood family, and so it remains today, with the fifth generation of the Elgood family now coming through to run the business, maintain the traditions, and push the company boldly forward into the 21st Century.

Cask, half pint.
Poured near black in color with an off white head.
Lovely coffee flavors here, chocolate pralines, toffee and light roastedness. Sweet porter, quite tasty.

Beer Number 17 at the Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2025, leaving 11 of 30 still untried. Heavy dryish coffee influence, but remains light textured, and pleasantly so.
