Independent brewery — Kelham Island, Sheffield

Ask for a second opinion.

Four beers, a taproom, and a strongly held view about each. The beer is fresh, the advice is free, and only one of those is reliable.

The beer menu

Four beers.
No side quests.

Everything we can, on the bar and in the fridge. Pick a favourite and defend it at the long table.

  • Pale Ale 4.2%

    Citrus, biscuit, and a finish so clean it files its own paperwork. The one you order without thinking.

    £4.20 / 440 ml
  • West Coast IPA 6.8%

    Pine and grapefruit at a volume the whole street can hear. It is not sorry.

    £5.60 / 440 ml
  • Oatmeal Stout 5.1%

    Smooth, dark, and full of details you only notice on the second read.

    £5.10 / 440 ml
  • Raspberry Sour 4.4%

    Sharp, pink, and a bad influence. Gets on famously with everyone we warned you about.

    £5.40 / 440 ml

The taproom

Come sit down.

Twelve taps, one long table, and staff who will absolutely tell you which beer you want. Dogs yes. Laptops until six. Card only, and no, we won't explain the playlist.

The process

How it's made, roughly.

Four steps, three of which are waiting. We've been doing this since 2017 and are almost certain we know why it works.

  1. Mash

    Hot water meets malted barley and steeps for an hour. Like tea, if tea could win a fight.

    60 min · 66°C
  2. Boil

    The hops go in and the opinions start. Different beers, different hops, same argument.

    90 min · rolling
  3. Ferment

    The yeast does the actual work while we stand about with clipboards, taking credit.

    14 days · 19°C
  4. Can

    Sealed, labelled and in the fridge before we get attached. Freshest at the taproom, obviously.

Visit

The beer's fresher here.

The taproom pours everything we make, a fortnight fresher than anywhere else, with the brewers on the wrong side of the bar most Fridays.
