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.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Dark gold. Moderate haze. Lively, fairly dense, just off white head. Nose has light, savoury smoke. Definitely a hint of the cherry wood. A little ashy. Hint of honey too. Taste is mostly dry, with a smoky sweetness. Light to medium body. Plenty of foamy carbonation. Light dry and light bitter finish. Decent enough, but needs more smoke.

Red beer, white head. Sour, bready aroma of fruit and malt. Taste is tangy cherries, malt and vanilla. Very crisp and fresh. Really, really nice with a bit of warming boozy spirits In the finish.
