    8 Aizlewood Rd, Sheffield S8 0YX

    The longest-standing brewery in Sheffield, Abbeydale has been a cornerstone of the city’s beer scene since 1996.

    Now employee-owned and the recipient of multiple awards, it ranks among the largest in the area, producing over 220 barrels per week.

    Continued investment and a spirit of innovation drive the brewery forward, with a core range complemented by at least one new beer released each week.

    Abbeydale also explores more experimental territory through its Funk Dungeon project, which focuses on barrel-aged, small-batch brews.

    Their beers are widely available, including via an online shop and at their pub, the Rising Sun in Nether Green.

  • Blue Bee Brewery

    Blue Bee Brewery

    Established in 2010, Blue Bee is a small, independently-owned 10-barrel brewery known for producing quality cask ales, with regular distribution across Sheffield and beyond—especially throughout Yorkshire and the East Midlands.

    Although one of the smaller breweries in the city, it has a strong local presence, particularly at the renowned Kelham Island Tavern, which shares the same ownership.

    Blue Bee is known for its ever-changing specials and frequent collaborations with like-minded breweries.

    Their beers often showcase New World hops, with an IPA always available—including the long-running and evolving American 5 Hop Pale Ale, now in its 75th incarnation.

  • Bradfield Brewery

    Bradfield Brewery

    Bradfield was established in 2005 on a working dairy farm on the edge of the Peak District, initially as an exercise in diversification but following the success and expansion of the brewery it has pretty much replaced the farming business!

    The brewery has its own Millstone Grit spring providing the water to brew with and produces a range of mostly simple, classic beers with the biggest selling being Farmers Blonde.

    There is a shop at the brewery whilst the original tap pub is the Nags Head Inn, a short distance from the brewery in Loxley (bus 61/62 Hillsborough-Bradfield go there); since then three other tap pubs have been added – the King & Miller in Deepcar and Wharncliffe Arms (both on bus route 57/57a Sheffield-Stocksbridge) along with the White Hart in Bradwell (on bus route 271/272).

    The brewery produces a broad range of cask ales at their site on the edge of Sheffield City Centre, shared with their tap bar Perch and an events yard.
