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.

Can thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - pale lemon with an attractive thin head. Nose - cranberry and hints of cherry lozenge. Taste - more cherry lozenge with cranberry there too. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - not bad!

Cask at The Cross Bar. It pours clear orange - amber with a thick white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, orange muffin, marmalade, bread and cereal. The taste smooth, mellow bitterness, brown bread, grassy, floral, earth, little bit of orange marmalade, leaf and cereal with a dry toasty finish. Light - medium body and good carbonation. Not a huge amount going on, but drinks easy.

Bottle thanks to swap with Scopey. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - light citrus. Lemon presumably but something from the Saison yeast too. Taste - more of the same. A little malty in truth. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - decent saison.
