Description
Our story starts back in 1992 when Kane Yeardley, our MD, bought an old, disused warehouse and turned it into what was to become one of Sheffield's most loved venues, The Forum. From there Forum Cafe Bars was born and ever since the company has gone from strength to strength - we now have venues throughout Sheffield and the surrounding areas, a successful brewery, gin distillery and coffee roastery. In January 2016 the company name was changed to True North Brew Co.

From 2012 when their beers initially appeared, they brewed under contract initially at Exit 33 Brewing Ltd and latterly at Welbeck Abbey Brewery. In Summer 2015 they opened their own brewery located next to The Forum at 47 Eldon Street in Sheffield.

Pint on tap at The Crown & Anchor, Barnsley. Slightly cloudy golden amber beer with thin creamy white head. Zero carbonation. Sweet toffee malt nose. Smooth light body. Initial bitter taste is followed by sweet cashew. Nice beer, easy-drinking but an APA? More an English Pale Ale.
