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.

330ml bottle from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured almost black in colour with a thin broken tan head. The aroma is roasty, big coconut and chocolate. The flavour is strong sweet, with a smooth, rich oily, chocolate, vanilla, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Super nice but I expected a little more body.

Can at home shared with Thompson and Laura. Ugly murky pèrdezoad appearance, average sized white to off-white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, fruity, very fruity, overripe fruit even, hmm. No, in the end, no. It's not my thing. Something annoys me. Meh.

Cloudy gold with a frothy off-white head and a very soft fruity aroma. Fresh and fruity with a dry white wine vibe, some soft bitterness and a dry finish
