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 from Beer Central, Sheffield. Just about black. Thin, sticky, lasting, off white head. Roast malt. Unripe, dark fruit. Stewed tea. Quite tannic, really. Taste is caramel sweet, for an instant, then a big bosh of pithy bitterness. Chewy palate. Soft carbonation suits the beer well. Long, rising, bitter finish. Tasty beer. Oh...and obviously extra points for the label...
