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.

Five guys on a mission, Shrewsbury Beer Share in Chez Sophie: 9th Aug 2021. I brought along this interesting looking can, 440ml in size; BB Nov 2021. Black bodied, tan head that gave off decent lacing. Malty nose on a bed of dark berries, taste follows along the same lines, semi-sweet malts and semi-bitter berries making up the flavours.

440ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Aug 21. Thanks Jeremy for this one. Pours dark with a beige head of foam. Great roasty nose underlined by a dark berry sweetness. Taste follows on nicely, with nicely integrated hop notes adding further flavour layers. A lovely flavoursome hoppy porter overall.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Orange/tan and not just hazy, but thick. Small off-white head. Light aroma with grapefruit, apples, some biscuit notes from the malt. Taste is nicely balanced, there is a malty sweetness which is countered with a dogged bittering hop to the finish. A bit confused and messy, but enjoyable all the same.
