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.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a slightly hazy yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, floral citrus hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, smooth, herbal, dry, light spicy, juicy citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Can picked up from Beerdome webshop Grootegast, Netherlands and consumed at home Thursday 8th February 2024 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music and about to cook a Lamb Curry for tea. Pours hazy yellow with a large white head, superb NEIPA, tropical fruit but then citrus floods through, juicy but then citrus does take over and despite being a NEIPA there is a little bit of bitterness here. Lovely.
