Bradfield Brewery have launched a new website which includes an online shop with a nationwide courier option available as well as local deliveries made by brewery staff.
New from Chantry Brewery on cask is National Hopster Service, a 4.5% ABV pale ale. Looking ahead we can expect their usual Christmas beers with a limited run available in can as well as cask. Meanwhile at the brewery the attached live music venue & tap has a busy programme of gigs, this is a short walk from Parkgate tram terminus.
Brampton Brewery in Chesterfield have released the dates for their 2025 brewery tour events. These take place once a month on a Friday evening and need to be booked in advance.

New from Neepsend Brewery is Cherokee, a 5% ABV American red ale.
Recent brews at Triple Point Brewing include Luxe (chocolate and vanilla porter, 7.6% ABV), Luxe salted caramel edition (as Luxe but with the added ingredients, as you might guess!), Broadway (Mosaic IPA, 6.2% ABV) and Morello (tart cherry ale, 5.2% ABV).
Little Mesters Brewing are gearing up for Christmas putting beer in cans, which are available to buy from their bar on Woodseats as well as shops such as Mitchells Wine (which is located next door to the brewery at Meadowhead!) A new beer (or rather a reworked old beer) is Juicy Content 2.0 which has now become a NEIPA, promising juicy and fruity flavours! They have also been canning their Original Pale and Original Bitter.
Also gearing up for Christmas is Little Critters Brewing Company who have brewed three Christmas specials – a blonde, a clementine pale and a gingerbread porter.
Likewise, as you’d expect, Emmanuales are canning beers for Christmas. With it being colder, darker winter months Nick has gone for a couple of heavy hitters – England’s Green and Pleasant Land is a 6.1% British hopped juicy IPA while Ale Mary is a 10% ABV spiced barley wine.
A local brewery that has remained off the radar for us is Contour Brewing, a nano-brewery based in Grindleford. Their Grindleford Pale Ale (4.5% ABV) made an appearance on the keg taps at the Tunnel Tap micropub in Totley back in October.
Blue Bee Brewery have a few ongoing series of pale hoppy beers that use the same basic recipe but with different hop varieties, spotted recently on the bar at the Kelham Island Tavern was their Nectaron Simcoe Pale (5% ABV).
The beer range from Dead Parrot on the bar at Perch has most recently included Jet (stout), Vitriol (bitter) and Arid (blonde) among others.

The Brewery of St Mars of the Desert have released a new beer – Red Planet. It is brewed with a blend of caramel and Munich malts along with Citra and Simcoe hops. This 5.4% ABV ale is suitable for the autumn and in terms of style sits somewhere between a red IPA and an American brown ale. It launched at their tap room mid November and is also available in cans.
