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.

Cask at Alexandra, Derby. Pours almost black with a small beige head and good lacing. There’s roast malts and alcohol in the aroma. Pretty much the same major players in the mouth, where they are joined by molasses, treacle and liquorice. The finish is dry, sticky and boozy. This is great !
