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.

Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival, 17th & 18th February 2012 Pours hazy light gold with a bubbly white head. Plenty of citrus from the off and whilst it was another very pleasant beer from Steel City (they never really put a foot wrong) the more I drank it the more confusing I found it, maybe I needed to just sit, relax and sup it at a more leisurely pace. Along with the Pictish Claymore, Acorn Northern Brewer IPA and Green Jack Baltic Trader this was amongst the big faves of the weekend. Juicy, fruity with a good dollop of orange and some pithiness, runs to a good dryness at the end. Good beer. A8 A3 T7 P4 Ov15 3.7
