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.

Keg at CBJ, Enid Street, 28/08/24. Black with a thin tan cap that veers to the edge. Nose is chocolate melt, molasses, dark malts, spice, booze, toasted brown sugars. Taste comprises chocolate, light roast, vanilla, sticky toffee pudding, dark malts. Full bodied, oily viscous feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Tidy enough impy but file under 'UT hype score' ... its okay but is a touch boozey/sweet with no real discernible depth to the flavour for a 14% number.

Keg at Craft Beer Junction. Opaque dark brown beer, small dark tan head. Surprisingly light palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin feeling dark malts, a decent dark chocolate. Chocolate cake. Fair amount of boozy spice but it works here. Some barrell character here but hard to discern what. Crisp finish. Nice but I was expecting something a lot more sumptuous.
