Intrepid brewery is holding another open day on 30 September as it seems the fashion to host Oktoberfests! As usual there will be a pop up bar in the brewery and Sunshine Pizza out in the yard to feed visitors along with Calum Audio (off of the neighbouring unit) providing the tunes. The brewery is in the Vincent Works complex in Brough, which is on the road between Hope and Bradwell. Buses on route 272 (Sheffield-Castleton) that go via Bradwell will drop you off at the end of the drive, bus 173 (Bakewell-Castleton) also stops there.
The Rugby world cup in August/September saw a special Bradfield beer brewed for the occasion, Farmers Line Out was a 4.7% bitter.
Recent beers noted from BrewSocial include “Rubber Duck”, a 6% Admiral IPA, “New Season”, a 4% Amarillo hopped session pale and “Going With the Flow”, a 4.2% Cascade hopped session pale.
Sheffield Mead has been packaging a rather special mead in bottle and keg – it is Barrel fermented with Brett and Kveik Redcurrant Mead. It’s light, funky, dry and tart. Lead with a honey aroma from Peak District Heather Honey and beautifully easy drinking. On the beer side Grizzly Grain is again brewing a green hopped beer using freshly picked locally grown hops, look out for this once a year special in the pubs soon!
