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. Bier Huis, Ossett. Pours a hazy, orange gold colour. Skim of white head. Nose has crisp, dry grain. Tangy, lemon hop. Taste is full of pithy, zesty grapefruit bitterness. Minimal sweetness. Beautifully crisp, clean mouthfeel. The bitterness rises and lingers for an age. In lovely condition, this. Really good.

Wakefield Beer Festival 2015. Hoppy with a slightly soured aftertaste, but mostly mild in its character, although fruit is evident.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, straw colour. Film, and a few bubbles of white. Some spicy, lemon hop on the nose, but mostly cardboard and plastic. Taste follows suit. I doubt this is how Dave intended the beer to be. Was looking forward to this one...

On gravity at 41st Steel City Beers Festival - Mimosa green shade of yellow body, thin white head. Nose is grassy, bit of fruity pepper, sweet herbiness about it. Taste hits you like a snake. Big venomous hit of spicy chilli. Everything else is washed away. Typical Steel City theatrics - they don’t fook about with half measures. Could still taste this the following day.
