Description
Beers are a beautiful thing and we’re very proud of ours here at Empire Brewing. An established micro-brewery situated amongst the rolling Yorkshire hills of Slaithwaite, we’ve been producing fine artisan ales for over a decade.
From a humble garage-based micro-brewery to the slick operation you see today at our boiler house by the canal, our beers – and the way we do things – have come a long way. But our values remain exactly the same: to produce creative and dynamic artisan brewing you’ll love.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 11/9/08. Deep gold in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of red fruit and a hint of citrus hops. Flavour had too much butterscotch with some redeeming spicy hops in the finish. Not a beer I would rush to drink again.

[On draft at the North Wiltshire Beer Festival]. Surprised this was a golden ale, the name made me think of a darker beer. Tastes dry, lemony - a fairly standard golden ale.

Cask at Wenlock Arms, London. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty, and so is the flavor with flowery and elderberry notes from the hops, leading to a slightly bitter finish.
