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.

Cask at CBC, Clerkenwell on 10th May 2017. Golden amber with almost white lacing foam. Lightly citric and floral hop aroma. ’Stereo’ hoppiness in-mouth, with grass and citrus occurring simultaneously. A savoury kick - nuttiness and cooked veg. A hoppy finish with continued savoury notes. Zingy with a fair amount of body for its strength.

Cask-conditioned at the Rook & Gaskill, York 21/1/2017. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Aroma of tangerines and a touch of citrus hops. Flavour had more fruit and biscuity malts, leading to a lingering, bitter, finish. Good.
