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.

Keg at the Lock and Barrel, Bromley. Reddish orange pour with a white head. Red cherries, strawberry jam and fresh cream in the nose. Strawberry jam, red cherries and tart red fruit action in the taste. Does the job.

Cask at Cronx Bar, Croydon. It pours clear rich brown with a medium, foamy white head. The aroma is brown bread, toasty grain, cereal, tangy berry and a caramel. The taste is dry, bitter, brown bread, tangy berry skin, dried fruits, caramel, toasty grain and light tannin with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not bad, but I don't really know if that tangy fruit character is on purpose...

Cask at Crony Bar. It pours slightly hazy brown with minimal head. The aroma is earth, spicy, stewed black tea, toffee, brown bread and a touch of citrus. The taste is dry, chewy, toothy, over-stewed black tea, perfumed, grapefruit rind, drying, tannic and spice with a drying finish. Medium body, low carbonation and chewy mouth feel. A bit chewy and sort of astringent. Condition is also a bit shit. Not good.
