Description
Two guys born and raised in Croydon met shortly before the London riots in 2011 at a beer festival, and found they both were having thoughts about starting up a new brewery in the area. After nearly a year of test brewing,
planning and trying to find financial backing, The Cronx Brewery was formed in 2012.

In 2016 the Cronx Bar was opened in Boxpark Croydon. Run by a great team, the bar always has a wide selection of real ales and craft beers available.

‘The Cronx’ is a portmanteau of Croydon (Or it’s postcode; CR0) and The Bronx, and has been used as an affectionate tongue in cheek reference to the often much maligned London Borough we call home.

Closed in 2024. In 2925 the brewery site and equipment taken over by Titsey Brewery to use as a 2nd location. Subsequent Cronx beers startes to be brewed again.

Cask at The Oval Tavern Croydon. It pours clear golden-amber with a small white head. The nose is earthy, oily, straw, hay, lemon and grapefruit. The taste is upfront big hit of bitterness, grapefruit, pithy lemon, oily, straw, sweet grain and a touch of pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Pretty drinkable stuff. Not as flavoursome as some of the others in the series, but decent anyhow.

Bottle from StarmoreBoss, Sheffield. Hazy, straw colour. Film of white head. Lemon and lime zest, with malt sweetness. Taste is off dry, with a bitterness in tow. Soft to flat carbonation. Decent amount of body. Finishes crisp bitter. Refreshing session beer, that I could chug down quite happily. Marked down a little though, because it was way overpriced!

Bottle shared during the RBESG London 2014 Sunday Tasting. Pours hazy yellow with minimal white head. Tart, spritzy and very clean, with nice tangy lemon notes. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly drying on the finish, tarty and lightly acidic, with further lemony fruits, whispers of mango. Nice juiciness. Lovely. Very refreshing and drinkable.

Bottle at RBESG ’14, day 4 not so grand tasting at Craft Clerko, 10/08/14 thanks to Paulo the Croydon beer pimp. Murked up orangeo, this beer wears no hat! Nose is tangy mango pulp, spice, citric peel, bread dough. Taste comprises light spice, touch of acidity, sticky mango goo, straw, tangerine. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough stuff, the mango and light spice works well, as for Hefe ? Not sure, the light tarteness at times and hint of acidity could shift it towards the sour/wild camp for me.
