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 at Reading beerfest] Gold, moderate white head. Floral and pine aroma, sour and bitter grapefruit taste. A little pepper in the finish. Very thin and watery - for me this was all hops and no balance. Sorry Gazza, really wanted to like it!

Mason & Taylor single hop fest. Light pale gold beer, no head. Light dry palate. Good fresh hops with a lingering bitter aftertaste. Full of hoppy goodness but the condition seems a bit off.

Cask handpull at Reading BF 2011. Gold clear lasting thin bubbly white head. Simcoe and Citra on the aroma. This is good. Better than the BAGS I thought. Really easy drinking delightfully hoppy beer. Tasty hoppy beer.

Cask handpull at Reading BF 2011. Clear pale ish gold colour with lasting bubbly white head. Lots of Chinook on the aroma. Touch of rubber later on with the hops. Quite light on the malts as you would expect. Lovely hoppy finish. Just that touch of rubber. Good though.
