Edited by Paul Ainsworth, chair of the CAMRA National Pub Heritage Group, this ground-breaking publication aims to create an up-to-date snapshot of the East Anglian Pub Heritage picture.
Paul said: “Over the past 25 years, CAMRA has developed its national and regional inventories of historic pub interiors. These highlight the crème de la crème of interiors which have either escaped much alteration for many years or contain features of exceptional interest. ”

Gavin and Hannah seemed to enjoy their introduction to sour brewing so hopefully we can look forward to Neepsend sours now! 200 litres of Medusa were transferred to a white wine barrel with grapes and will be launched at the Stout Wars event at the Shakespeare on the 4th of May. One keg will be bretted and left until the end of the year.
The next brew was an ultra-short brewlength Flemish Oude Bruin. The unblended Bruin is rarer still, six bottles to be sold by Hoptimism, the rest was blended with a sour blond. Three kegs and 30 bottles of the blend were made, one of the kegs has been bretted and will also appear at the end of the year.

Snookering onto our seasonal line up for the fifth year running is the Farmers Cruci-Bull Ale (4.1%), a dark copper-coloured best bitter. Available in cask from 16 April – just in time for the World Snooker Championship starting in Sheffield on Saturday 21 April. 
Farmers Stout has been a farm favourite for Bradfield Brewery since it was first brewed back when we started out in 2005. Recently winning Gold for Best in Category at Rotherham Real Ale & Music Festival has seen it get the recognition it deserves. 
On the subject of stouts – a special edition Vanilla Stout (4.5%) is currently on trial at our Brewery Tap, The Nags Head at Loxley, and proving very popular – it may feature in other outlets, so keep your eyes peeled!

Our next special is a new brew for us, a single-hopped IPA entitled National Treasure (5.4%). It’s a rich golden ale brewed using Calypso hops which give both zesty high-notes and a black-peppery finish.
Finally from our Brewers Choice range we have Tink’s Pixie Dust Pale (3.8%), named after our head brewer James (but we like to call him Tink – short for Tinkerbell the beer fairy!). He’s brewed this fruity session pale from a magical blend of hops from three continents and it’s the perfect springtime companion.
Our brewery tours also kick off this month and we are really excited to be running them again. Our April and May tours are already completely sold out, so if you’re interested in attending we’d suggest getting your tickets asap! You can grab them on our website at 
We’re also releasing Zampo (5.2%), a Marmalde Pale Ale made using 7.5kg of dried orange peel. The aroma coming out of the brewery when this was made was immense! Beautifully bitter and full of fruity flavours, be sure to get down to your local and check it out.
After recently investing in some more bottling equipment, you’ll be seeing a lot more bottle conditioned beers being produced by The Sheffield Brewery Company, including both our core range beers and our specials.
Don’t forget, or Tap Room opens on the Peddler weekends, and will be open Friday 6 and Saturday 7 April with street food and live music, this time from the aptly-named Irish Folk band (wait for it…!) The Peddlers.

The beer is currently available in selected pubs across South Yorkshire – including Stancill’s quartet of brewery taps. CAMRA members can benefit from a 20% discount on all Stancill ales at any of the pubs mentioned above.
Meanwhile, last month we introduced you to Charlie Brown; the first instalment from Stancill’s new Full of Dank range. The first batch of cans arrived in the brewery in mid-March, but never one to rest on his laurels, head brewer Dean Pleasant has been carefully developing the next beer in the range – a 4.1% brew, which he describes as “Barnsley Bitter with attitude”.
Based upon a Vienna style beer, ESB (or Extra Session Bitter; 4.1%) is created using a secret hop combination, creating a nutty aroma and sweet malty taste, which is offset with a powerful hoppy kick.
Managing Director, Thomas Gill, said: “Barnsley Bitter is one of our best known and most recognisable brews, but we began thinking about what the recipe might have been like if the brewers who first developed the beer had access to modern ingredients and brewing techniques. ESB is a contemporary take on a timeless classic and, like all the beers in this range, features plenty of dank!”
ESB is currently available in cask and keg and will soon be available in cans.
