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.

Keg draught at BrewDog Sheffield. Amber gold an hazy with a thin white head. Pastry aroma with notes of umami, fruited caramel, cream cheese icing. Sweet/sour interplay in the taste going to a more traditional fruity sour, sweet cheese in the finish. My dear Lord.

Draught at BrewDog Sheffield. Murky dark brown, no head. A little less translucent than the others in the series. Lots of rum in the aroma, eclipsing everything else although I'm getting some hard citrus peel. Sour taste, a touch of mojito and more rum. Tongue-coating tartness on the finish. Thin body. Another impressive beer from the series.

Keg draught at BrewDog Sheffield. Murky dark brown with no head to speak of. Honey and berry aroma, not very sour smelling with a little bit of vanilla. Bit berry on the taste, sweetervthan id have inagined. This hides the booze so well which is dangerous. Drier in the finish. Love, love this.
