Bang The Elephant Brewing
Microbrewery in Langley Mill, Derbyshire, England 🏴
Established in 2018
Description
Back in 2017 the idea was born, how do you fancy starting a brewery! and so it began with some homebrew knowledge we started bang the elephant brewing co, brewing on a grainfather brewing system for the first year, learning whatever we could and gaining feedback from freinds and family along the way, even double brews just to fill one cask to send off to beer festivals and start getting some real feedback.
In 2018 after some great feedback and some good success we decided to ramp up production and see what we could do! renting a 4bbl kit we quickly started to brew cask beer for sale to pubs in the surrounding area and then onto keg.
In 2019 we were presented with an amazing opportunity to move into the abstract jungle brewery and purchase it under the expert turorlidge of Mr Simon King the head brewer which brought us to where we are today.
We really do love what we do, thats why we always set out to make this our day job, we may have not reached that point yet, but its coming.

Gravity cask at Mill Hill Cask & Coffee. Amber brown and clear with an uneven off-white head. Sweet aroma, some tropical fruit, bready malt. Sweet taste, very malty led with notes of physalis, red grape, caramel. Finish is considerably bitter. Medium weight of body with no carbonation really. Quite nice but I want a bit more personality.

Gravity cask at Mill Hill Cask and Coffee. Light gold, hazy with a ring of loose head. Light aroma of lemon cream, grain and sweet spice. Sweet taste, Light juicy hop, a different sort of almost umami flavour I can't place. Some good bitterness in the finish. Slight body with little carbonation. Odd and reasonably good.

Geprobeerd met LiekevdV, Roelzie, Koenzie, Mimi, Anne, Romy, Meindert en Tessa tijdens een Tasting met Mimi @Tom. Het is een helder donkergroen bier met een dun schuim. Het heeft een aroma van zeepsop en kauwgom. De smaak is fris zuur, zoet en bubblegum achtig.
