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 George, Croydon. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is earth, cheese, mustiness, manure, wood, varnish and light spice. The taste is earth, toast, wood, spice, caramel, varnish, biscuit, touch of cheddar and light alcohol bite with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Probably my least favourite out of the series so far. Tastes decent, I’m just not enamoured by the smell...

Gravity at the CPFC beer festival, 2013. Dark brown pour with a beige head. Christ I’ve got to enter the digital rating world when I’m out and about, my writing’s atrocious! Seemingly the aroma is toffee, dark plums?? or is it chocolate? has to be chocolate. Can’t cope with this shorthand. Flavours of coffee and chocolate. Quite a sweet little number. Dry finish. Not too bad.

Cask at CPBF 2013. It pours hazy golden yellow with a medium bubbly white head. The nose is lemon, key lime pie, earth, apple and wood. The taste is pine, good bitterness, pithy citrus, grapefruit, soap, nettles, light astringency and varnish with a dry, rather bitter finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Nice bitterness, but prefer the galaxy version.

Cask at the Rake - London. Pours mostly clear gold with a fine, fluffy white head. Dry hay on the nose with pale and lightly grainy malts, some dry lemon. Light to medium sweet flavor with mild bitter hay, some faint juicy lemon, citrus rind, mellow biscuits. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Lightly sticky citrus to finish, mildly jammy, with light grass and hay and biscuity pale malts. Good.

Cask at the Rake - London. Pours clear gold with a faint, white cream head. Good snout, some tropical fruits, grapefruit, light pine. Medium sweet flavor, well and juicy, with faint pine and dirty grass, hints of alcohol. Medium bodied with soft to fine carbonation. Moderately resinous to finish with lots more juicy citrus, grapefruit, melon, papaya and pineapple. A very tasty IPA. With better condition this would be quite impressive.
