Our big news for February is that we should, fingers crossed, be having two big and shiny new tanks installed! This will increase our production and packaging capabilities and hopefully give us even more flexibility in terms of the beers we’re able to make, but it does mean that our plan for releases this month is just a little up in the air at the time of writing. So please do forgive us if there’s something here that ends up being not quite as correct as we’d like!
We’re also incredibly excited to be part of Winter GBBF this year, and will have a bar there for the duration of the festival (12th-15th February at Magna), as well as getting involved with the Learning & Discovery Bar on the Saturday – so please pop along and join us for a beer if you’re there!
Talking of beer, here’s a flavour of what we’ve got coming up. Sheffield Rocks (4.1%) and Sheffield Stout (4.5%) are both returning favourites paying homage to the beer heritage of our fantastic city and starting to get us ready for Sheffield Beer Week. And we’ve teamed up with our very own pub, The Rising Sun, to create Drop By Your Local – a classic 4.2% pale ale hopped with Willamette, Citra and Centennial. Designed to be enjoyed in good company and celebrate all our wonderful local pubs.
Dr Morton’s Safety Beer (4.1%) featuring the Aussie combo of Galaxy & Vic Secret hops is always a crowd-pleaser of a pale ale, with a tropical melange of passionfruit, mango and pineapple on the palate. And also taking inspiration from Down Under, we have Fremantle (5.0%) on the way, hopped with Enigma, Cascade and Chinook. Quaffable and thirst-quenching with a crisp, refreshing bitterness.
