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 Bag O,Nails, Bristol 4/7/2016. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Some sweetish malts upfront, before subtle ginger took over to dominate a refreshing drink. This is the best ginger infused beer I have tried.

Cask. Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield. Clear gold. Bubbly, bright white head. Nose has lots of grapefruit. Peach and apricot. Creamy malts. Bit of a sorachi vibe, which may or may not be bollocks on my part. Anyhoo, it smells pretty good. Taste is well balanced sweet and bitter. Medium body. Maintains the fruity hop until the end. North Riding quality, by which I mean really good.
