Steel City Brewing
Client Brewer in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England 🏴

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 Oxford Beer Festival, 15-10-09 Pours a lemony colour with white head and whilst there is a little haze, it looks pretty decent. Lovely hoppy nose, its likely that I’m picking out the American hops possibly the Amarillo. Taste is very much tingly hops to start and a pleasant streaky bitterness that leaves a little hop burn on the roof of the mouth. I understand that this didn’t end up quite as hoppy as Gazza and Dave expected but regardless of this it is still a pleasant hoppy little number and for their first brew a pretty solid start. Soft mouthfeel but nicely refreshing and the finish is dry. A good start to my night working at Oxford Beer Festival. A7 A3 F7 P4 Ov15 3.6
