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-conditioned at the Cornubia, Bristol 8/4/2016. Near black in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Aroma of chocolate, berry fruits and toasted malts. Flavour had more chocolate, some lactose sweetness, rich and roasted malts, leading to a dryish finish with a slight tangy edge. An enjoyable stout.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - amber red. Oily looking. Nicely proportioned head. Nose - light biscuit and red fruit. Taste - orange and red fruit. Dry orange finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture. The finish is dry and tangy. Overall - good. Need to get into it before you get something out of it but it’s good all the same.

Cask. Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Straw colour. Bit of a haze. Thin, super sticky, white head. Nose has sweet grain. Some grassy hop. Smells very green. Taste is fairly dry, and grassy bitter. Crisp, dry palate. Light bitter finish. With a beer induced headache from the night before, this was extremely chuggable.
