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.

Bottle @ Hart & Spool, Borehamwood. Golden with a thick creamy head. It has a smooth tasting texture, with a pale ale character including a dryness behind a more dominant, pleasant light fruitiness. It’s notably hoppy too.

Bottle @ Hart & Spool, Borehamwood. Pale golden with no head. There’s not a huge amount of obvious wheat ale character here, but that’s mainly down to the fact the cranberry is extremely dominant in both aroma and taste. However it’s very fruity, tasty with a tanginess, and has a fairly easy-supping texture.

Bottle @ Hart & Spool, Borehamwood. Clear golden with an extremely thin head. Has a sticky-sweet texture and taste with a touch of caramel involved, ending with a mild bitterness. There’s not a lot of aroma here, but what is there is also sweet.

Bottle @ Hart & Spool, Borehamwood. Extremely dark with a very thin off-white head. Has plenty of roasted malts in its aroma, and lots of cookie dough dark malts in its taste, so it does what it says on the tin... or bottle in this respect.
