Sheffield Brewery Company
Sheffield Brewery are known for their range of good quality, easy drinking session beers, however their new CAMRA Brewery Liaison Officer, Gavin Kieran, suggested they brewed a rather more hoppy IPA. Head brewer, Dr Tim Stillman, agreed to do it on the condition Gavin came down and help brew it – so he did. The result is called Siege IPA, brewed with a cocktail of five different hop varities – Chinook, Nugget, Summit, Cascade and Amarillo – bringing a fruity bitterness to the beer with aromas of orange and citrus flavours.
