Our story began in 2006, when neighbours Roland Kannor & Dave Holmes hit a midlife crisis and decided they believed they could make better beer than they were drinking at their local pub, they were soon joined by their sons Ethan Kannor & Mike Holmes.

After 18 months of brewing in a friends garage on a 2.5bbl (400L), local businessman Jason Jopson helped finance a new 20BBL (3,260L) brewery which is use today.

We are now based on the picturesque Calcott Hall Farm, Dave has since retired from the brewing industry & Mike moved on to join the Navy, leaving Roland & his son Ethan to continue living the dream that is the Brentwood Brewing Company.

In 2010, our offshoot brand ‘Elephant School Brewing’ was born to cater for the more rebellious drinker, so called because there used to be an Elephant Training school in Brentwood.

By 2018, all of our beers are gluten free & all bottle beers are vegan friendly.

Since putting on our brewing boots we are extremely proud of what we have achieved. From our Salsa+ Beer accreditation to winning multiple awards, including National Premium Lager with our ’Elephant School Pilsner’.

However, our greatest achievement is cementing ourselves as a beacon of joy in our local community.
