It is brewed from Maris Otter pale malt, along with brown, amber and chocolate malts and some invert sugar. This magnificent porter was recreated – from an 1872 recipe, as the name suggests – by brewer Dave Sanders about twelve years ago, when the brewery was known as Eastwood & Sanders. The standard of the beer has continued to remain high, and only last month it finished runner-up in the Champion Winter Beer competition yet again. The brewers, however, have not rested on these laurels. It has since claimed that prestigious title two more times and went a step further in 2013 when it was declared supreme Champion Beer of Britain. More than that, it is the most successful beer of modern times in CAMRA’s Champion Beer of Britain awards.ġ872’s success began relatively modestly with a silver medal in the Stouts and Porters category of the competition in 2008 but then moved to a new level a year later when it was judged overall Champion Winter Beer of Britain. Elland’s 1872 Porter is a sumptuous dark ale from Yorkshire.
