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.

Hand bottle at ChrisO pre GBBF 2010. Pale gold, thin white head. My lasst rating of the evening before falling asleep under the bit of the ceiling that had already fallen down. Blinding beer Gazza and Dave, for an American Pale Ale this is everything I want especially in terms of hops. Lovely hop aroma mix of PNW hops, really drinkable. Would love to try this on cask fresh.

Flavour is quite fruity and floral with also some slight grassyness as well as bready malts. A quite plesantly balanced end easy to drink beer.

Cask, gravity at Merton Summer Beer Festival, 16-07-10 Very pale gold appearance with a a slim white head, decent clarity also. Wonderful fresh hoppy aroma. This is fresh clean and crushingly bitter in the mouth, streaky hops zipping about the mouth, plenty of juicy citrus, grapefruit I’m getting mostly. Nicely bitter and a real corker that went down well amongst the CAMRA lot especially. Hats off to Gazza, great stuff. A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 4.0
