About
Welcome to Little Mesters Brewing, we are a micro brewery and tap room in the brewing heartland that is the 'Steel City' of Sheffield. Our aim is simple 'to brew great tasting beers accessible and enjoyable for everyone'. We are committed to producing only quality beers using the best ingredients. From lagers to imperials, don't worry, we've got you covered.
Established in 2020 in the midst of the Covid 19 pandemic it's safe to say things were not plain sailing getting things off the ground, it took time for us to learn the brewery and all it's quirks as well as try and establish a brand that would do justice to the amazing recipes and beers we had planned. We arrived at the name 'Little Mesters' and instantly knew we had found what we were after. The name and logo are a nod to the Little Mesters who were undoubtedly the backbone of Sheffield’s cutlery and tool making industries of days gone by.

On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours almost black with a small foamy beige head and good lacing. There’s a strong aroma of roasted malts and coffee plus hints of chocolate. In the mouth it is quite sharp but with some underlying sweetness. Roast malts again prominent in the flavour plus ginger and coffee grounds. Later on some liquorice comes through together with hints of hops and honeycomb leading to a slightly dry finish. This is decent.

Can on the train back from Newquay, thanks to the Wingmane, 02/05/2026.
Moderately hazed golden orange with an off white cap that thins to the edge.
Nose is orange zest, grass, papaya.
Taste comprises citric tinged straw, melon, grass, tangerine.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness.
Okay pale if a touch pedestrian.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Clear very dark brown. Decent tan foam. Nose has light roast malt and light roast coffee. Some bitter chocolate. Hint of vanilla. So everything present and correct then. Taste is light sweet with decent roasted malt vinous bitterness. Fairly light bodied and quite drying. Light to moderate bitter finish. Sets off great but the promised richness and warmth was never happening. Still smashed it down mind you so there is that. Good to see another Sheffield brewer doing solid work.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Little Mesters now has the brewer from Grizzly Grains. And on this evidence it shows. Hazed gold. Thick dense lasting white foam. Looks boss. Nose has rye like grain. Chalky mineral. Peach and plum stone. Light yeasty bread. Like a sourdough thing. Taste is semi sweet with a mineral dryness. Light floral fruity hop bitterness. Lovely mouthfeel here. Foamy and bright. Clean crisp finish. Pretty much bang on for style by a lad who needs to know how good he is at his game.
