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.

Dark golden colour, mid-sized white head and lace. Bitter pine and resin aroma. Medium-boided. Pine needles, resin are the main components. Very bitter, rare in these days. Otherwise a bit simple.

Keg draught at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Well well well. Sahti in Leicester, we have come a long way. Deep golden with a little bit of haze and a generous off-white head which dissipates quickly. Woody and honeyed note, getting a little bit of the juniowr. Some gooseberry. First sip is really sour, slightly sweaty with notes of Manuka honey and ultra sour underripe berry. Second sip it mellows with the same characters without the intensity. Medium to heavy carbonation. Damn this is cool.
