Duration Brewery Elephant Pale Ale

Bold, juicy & beautifully balanced – a modern pale ale with real Norfolk character

Produced in Norfolk by Duration →

Duration Elephant Pale Ale is a vibrant, hop-forward pale ale brewed at Duration’s award-winning farmhouse brewery in West Acre, Norfolk. Taking inspiration from the brewery’s ethos — “beers that belong” — Elephant brings together bold flavour, impeccable balance and the clean, crisp drinkability that Duration is known for.

This is a pale ale designed to punch above its weight: bursting with expressive hop aromas, juicy citrus flavours and soft tropical notes, all resting on a smooth malt backbone. It’s modern, refreshing and effortlessly drinkable — the kind of beer that fits anywhere: by the coast, at the table, in a hamper or as a Norfolk weekend treat.

Elephant Pale Ale showcases everything Duration does best: quality ingredients, technical precision and an unmistakable sense of place.
