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. Rutland Arms, Sheffield. This beer replaces Nectar, whilst the hops for Nectar are unavailable. Anyhoo, this is pale straw, with a thin, bright white head. Peachy. Sweet malt. Hint of citrus. Lemon pith in the background. Taste is dry, and light bitter. Fresh palate. Dry, light bitter finish. Nice, crunchy fresh session beer.

On cask at Cross Scythes, Sheffield - Beautiful looking ink black body, with a thick white head that lasts all the way. A toasty aroma of coffee and burnt toast, follows with a taste of rich dark chocolate and espresso, with a warming after kick of alcohol,. Nice oily mouthfeel, creamy kick and finishes with a lasting after taste. V-e-r-y nice!!!!
