Description
Steel City Brewing is a brewing company with a very new world outlook on life! Rather than buying our own brewery - with all the associated cost and hassle that entails - we have decided, initially at least, to become what's known in Europe as a "Cuckoo" brewery... We started off doing our first brews at The Brew Company, before capacity issues saw us move to Little Ale Cart, where we spent three years proving even the most Heath-Robinson brew kit can be used to make good beer! We then outgrew the kit moved to Toolmakers brewery, before moving again to Lost Industry in 2016.

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 share. Cotteridge Beano v2. Hazy gold. No head. Not a deal of aroma. Some light citrus. Slightly vegetal. Taste sets off ok, to the point you might think everything is going to be ok, but then a huge, burning chilli heat kicks in, and stays an age. I got away lightly, having only had a sip, and when the heat had worn off, got that slightly euphoric feeling that comes with tackling something this hot, but as for being a beer that is even remotely drinkable or enjoyable, this fails miserably!
