About
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.

The nose is an absolute dessert bomb
Solid chocolate and some coconut hints
Front loaded sweet flavor. But not in the diabetes area
Drinkable chocolate winter warmer. Also some nutty notes and vanilla.
Mild roast feeling

Fruity, slightly hoppy nose with notes of citrus, orange, grass, peaches, a touch of resin, white bread and a mild citric/grassy bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Refreshing.

Another afterthought beer after exhausting the Wetherspoon pumps from their beer festival. A black brew with an excellent roasted aroma that doesn't transfer to taste. Always smooth in texture though.
