Description
Blue Bee Brewery is an independent brewery in the heart of the valley of beer in Sheffield, England.
Blue Bee was set up in 2010 by Richard Hough, former head brewer at Abbeydale, who has also done stints at Acorn, Crown, Spire, Raw and Marble. Starting his own brewery allows him to use this invaluable experience on his own terms, creating beers that are noted for “quality, consistency and with a slight addiction factor”. In 2014 the business was acquired by Reet Ale Pubs, which runs three pubs in Sheffield.

Cask at Hops, Crewe – As Blue Bee Triple Hop. Pours a golden orange with a small off-white head. The aroma is a faint tinge of apricot – but it took someone with an enhanced sense of smell to spot it for me ! In the mouth it starts off slightly sweet with floral hops, but quickly becomes bitter with grains, tangerines and tropical fruits. Finish is bitter too. This is reasonable – thankfully the citra hops don’t dominate !

Cask @ Fox and Goose, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a creamy-frothy head. Its strength makes for a full and healthy hoppy tasting brew.

Cask @ Fox and Goose, Hebden Bridge. Black with a creamy-frothy head. Certainly understated in taste, but is smooth enough with very light tasting dark malts available in both aroma and taste.
