Welcome to our rebellious offspring…

Named after the elephant training grounds that used to operate at nearby Warley Barracks, Elephant School Brewing is the craft beer brainchild of Brentwood Brewing, where we let our passion for real ale run a little wilder.

Still adventurously gluten-free, you can expect to see creative styles and unexpected flavours, with the same dedication to the craft as always.

Our small core range now includes our Aussie Blonde (4.3%), Stampede Hazy Pale (4.0%) and award-winning Pils (4.6%), but our focus on one-off experiments hasn’t gone anywhere. Check our website and socials for what’s newest, or scroll on for a retrospective of what we’ve done.

Past Beers

You know a horse by the races it’s run, yeah? Same goes for elephants, we think . . . Or at least we’re pretty sure the best way to get to know Elephant School is by checking out our back catalogue. These are the adventures we’ve been on already, the ones that led us to where we are now. Most are fond memories — some we’d quite like to revisit! Let us know if you also have a bit of nostalgia for adventures past. Maybe we can bring a few old friends back for a visit . . .
