Stancill Brewery
Microbrewery
in Sheffield,
South Yorkshire,
England 🏴
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 2014
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.

Cask at the Lord Clifden, Birmingham. Poured a clear light amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is skunky malt. The flavour is light bitter witn a light malt hop bitter palate. Moderate to light bodied with soft carbonation. Very lagerish. Didn’t really inspire me.

Cask @ Beckett’s Bank, Leeds. Dark copper-gold with a small head. Some malt in its aroma, a little more in its taste, although it’s quite crisp and smooth in the palate. Decent but not high on any taste or flavour.

On cask at British Oak, Mosborough - Cloudy golden body with an off-white head. Aroma is light malty with grapefruit and pineapple, taste of sweet oat together with the fruity hops, and mild pine. Okay, but lacking in the spectacular.

Cask @ Leggers Beer Festival, Dewsbury. Golden with a creamy head. There’s more ginger in here than the notes would have you believe, it’s certainly dominant in an easy drinking texture.

On cask at British Oak, Mosborough - Clear yellow body, thick white lacing head. Nose is light floral, hay, grassy and citrus. Taste is a bit more mellow and refreshing, the gentle mouthfeel adding a tighter dimension to this beer, with a sweet finish. Quite a nice one, and better than our football team.

Cask at the Reading beer festival. Light roastiness, a little chocolate, maybe a little watery but jyst what you’d want if you’d been working down t’pit all day. Yer classic mild, in other words. Not bad.
