Steel City Brewing
Client Brewer in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England 🏴
Established in 2009
Closed in 2025
When we started we were (and still are) huge fans of hops and there just weren't enough brewers in the UK using them, even though that sounds ridiculous in today's beer world. So, rather than moaning into our beer, we thought we'd do something about it and brew some of our own! Over time as the beer scene evolved, there was less need for our style of hoppy beers since everyone was brewing with them so we evolved too and widened our style portfolio.

Cask, third, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast To Coast Bar. Bubbly surface, scattered lacing, unclear orange coloured body. Mid-sweet apricot aroma. Blended taste of saison fruits, apricot and added a tart basement touch. Tart and sweet ending. Satisfying cleanser. (Day 3 of the festival, 24.01.2020).

Bottle shared at Cotteridge Convention 2017. Cheers! Pours cloudy orange with a frothy, off-white head. The aroma holds toffee and coffee. Big sweet flavour with notes of bread and oily coffee. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Oily finish, lightly warming, with more rich coffee, light caramel. Good stuff.

Taste comprises caramel, orange peel, citric tinged straw, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with assertive hop bitterness. Not bad.

Keg at the Rusty Bucket, Eltham. Black pour with a blink and you'll miss it tan head. Warming aromas of raisins, the finest Bordeaux, plum jam, blackberries, blackcurrants, prunes. Flavours of red grapes, raisins, strawberry jam, dark plums, prunes. Huge alcohol burn. Finishes like a fine red wine. Excellent!
