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.
