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.

Can. Beer Central Sheffield. Amber colour. Soft haze. Slim dense just of white foam. Well I don’t know how but the aroma is nailed on digestive biscuit based lemon cheesecake. Impressive. Tastes like it too. Lovely twang. Smooth and super easy drinking. Minimal amount of acidity. Really good.

Can thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - mat black with a thin off-white head. Nose - lightly rum and brown sugar with something a bit like glue. Taste - boozy raisins, in fact rum and raisin. Ginger bread. Palate - medium to full bodied, sweet and very boozy. Overall - enjoyable if a bit unbalanced.

30/8/2022. Can from Beer Central, Sheffield. Can blew well before its bb date but fortunately didn't break the seal. Poured slightly murky very dark brown with minimal head. Aroma of lime, passionfruit, dark rum, orange, light roasting, chocolate, ashy woody edge. Moderate sweetness, big dose of lemon and lime tartness. Medium body, very low carbonation. Gently boozy but didn't give any real suggestion that it was 13.7%. Drying tart fruit finish. Long lingering passionfruit and lime. Enjoyed it, but it was quite an enigma.

Can. Beer Central Sheffield. Mostly clear pale gold. Slim leggy white head. Nose has sweet cereal. Pithy citrus. Bit of a sweet funk thing going on, bizarrely. Taste has a grainy sweetness with a bosh of lime and orange peel bitterness. Drinks pretty easy despite that funk thing. Lingering bitterness to finish.
