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.

Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Very dark with the whisky ageing very evident. It's rich with peat in both its aroma and taste.

Hand-pulled half-pint on 29th Sep 2017, in The Station Hotel, Oakengates Shropshire. Clean golden pour, white crown on top. Hops rule the nose with a light citrus lead to the fruity aroma. Malts come more into it in the taste, good balance with less citrus than I thought there might be from the smell. Decent, refreshing brew.
