Description
In 2013, Oakwell Brewery of Barnsley, announced their closure. Oakwell’s legendary Barnsley Bitter faced extinction, along with 120 years of brewing heritage.
Motivated by a desire to ensure that the production of Oakwell’s famous Barnsley Bitter could continue, Barnsley boys Tom & Adam rescued the brewing equipment from Oakwell and set about recreating the much loved beer.
A site in Sheffield was selected as the home of the new brewery. Known as the ‘Brewing Capital of England’, the city’s proximity to the Peak District gives access to the purest water - perfect for brewing. The 22.5 barrel kit was carefully transported to the new location and painstakingly reassembled under the direction of Chief Engineer, Tim.
Stancill Brewery was ready to brew.
Production commenced in January 2014 with a revival of the historic Barnsley Bitter, true to the original recipe. Led by Head Brewer Dean, our brewery team work hard to ensure that the legacy continues to this day.

Keg at Barrow Hill Festival - Nice start to proceedings with a clear golden body, thick white top, lots of carbonation lines keeping this lively. Nose is grassy, lots of crisp hoppiness. Taste is clean, fresh and lots of gassiness and dry crisp finish. For a lager at a Real Ale and Cider festival... good effort.

Cask @ Leeds Station Wetherspoon. Slightly hazy golden-blonde with a thin head. Malts in nose with a more balanced and very easy drinking taste.

Cask at Three Tuns, Dronfield - Deep ruby red body, thick top. Nose is gently roasted, some nuts, and a bit of coffee. Taste has a strange crispness to it, almost refreshing in a way, with little or no finish. Enjoyed this, but I don’t know why. It had gone so quickly.

On cask at Three Tuns, Dronfield - Clear yellow, wishy-washy foam on top that didn’t last. Taste and nose has a lemony quality about it, also a bit soapy too. It seems to be a bit on the bland side, but nothing too offensive.

Cask @ Jacob’s Beer House, Bradford. Extremely dark, but clear red with a creamy head. Light, crisp, and easy drinking, but never gets high on any flavours. There’s some roasted malt in its nose.
