Steel City had a brief hiatus in the spring due to Dave swanning off to all four corners of the globe, but are back in business with the latest ‘megacollab’. Sadly unlike last year the weather conspired to prevent cricket being played so they had to get on with brewing instead, though there was still…

A long time ago in a galaxy far… No, wait, we’ve done that bit. Erm. Skip a bit, brother… wait, wrong film. I’ll come in again. It is a dark time for the lunatic brewing alliance as the Stout Wars rage on. Although the six stouts have been destroyed, Imperial stout troops have driven the…

Burn the Kirsch, the cherrywood-smoked rauchbier collab with Lost Industry and Boutilliers, is now doing the rounds in cask, keg and bottle. Four versions were produced, each named after a church burnt down by Norway’s ‘Satanic Terrorists’, pioneers of the black metal scene. Skjold (5.7%) is a straight pale rauchbier, but much fruitier and less…

Steel City started the year with a collab, a ‘home’ three-way with Lost Industry and Boutilliers. The base beer is Burn the Kirsch, a cherry-smoked pale with cherries and cherry blossom. Cherry-smoked malt gives a sweet fruity smoke flavour, rather than the unpleasant phenolic flavours of beechwood or peat. There will also be a wine-barrel…

Steel City’s Stout Wars collab with Emperor’s and Lost Industry was a massive pain in the proverbial to brew, and they would never be so silly as to try anything like that again and how about we do another version bigger and stronger and barrel-ier? The guys got together in August to drink rum and…

Steel City have had a busy spring, or at least the bits of it for which Dave was in the country. The dry-hopped sour Medusa (5.0%) went down well, and she has now been joined by her two sisters. Euryale has been aged four months in a white wine barrel with grapes, while Stheno was…

Steel City, along with Lost Industry and Emperor’s, presented the second Stout Wars tap takeover on Star Wars Day, this time at the Shakespeare. The beers sold unbelievably fast, with Episode IV: A Tiramisu Hope was gone by 8pm and Episode VI: Return of the Cake was not far behind. We suspect a few people…

Since the last time I wrote this column, we’ve been treated to a range of beer-focused events across Sheffield, not least Sheffield Beer Week, which once again was a great success. The various festivals and events have given me the opportunity to try a whole range of new and interesting beers from around the country…

Steel City continue to release collaborations as Dave pays off his collab ‘debt’ (and not at all because it means someone else shovelling the mash tun, honest guv). The latest is with Neepsend and Lost Industry, a 5.0% Citra and Rakau dry-hopped sour named Medusa (thus fitting both Neepsend’s mythology theme and Steel City’s metal…

Steel City’s Stout Wars launch at the Rutland with Lost Industry and Emperor’s was an epic success, the pub was packed all night, three Imperial Stouts were demolished along with most of the wine-barrel-aged beers. A similar event is planned for May featuring three barrel-aged Imperial Stouts. A single keg of Rogue One will be…

Steel City are back at the collaboration game, and this time it’s big. Any time Steel City and Lost Industry collaborate it’s like a nuclear arms race of mad ideas, but this time the brand new Emperor’s Brewery was also involved. Damian of Emperor’s is an accomplished home-brewer who has just acquired his brewing license,…

After a relatively quiet 2017, lots of action at Steel City in recent weeks! The rum barrel that was filled with Mayhem stout back in April was broached last month, and six months have certainly had an effect on the beer. Big rum aroma, then roasty and chocolatey flavour with a big rum aftertaste. 200…

The big news from Steel City is they have a new host, so after a 9-month hiatus can finally brew under their own license again. The first brew will be Demons Are Back (named after a Mortiis song, but you all knew that), and will be a Transatlantic Pale Ale featuring Rakau and Hallertau Blanc…

Steel City are still awaiting the go-ahead at their potential new home, but the away collaborations are still flowing. Bunch of Cnuts, brewed at Imperial, is doing the rounds at present, and is like a liquid Tunnocks Teacake, big chocolate and raspberry jam flavours backed up with slightly more subtle coconut. Meanwhile, the Black Metal…

Steel City haven’t brewed at ‘home’ since January – being temporarily homeless has that effect! However, Dave has been busy with collaborations near and far.

Steel City are already halfway to matching 2016’s brewing total, with one brew on the big kit and one on the minikit, plus away collabs at Lost Industry and Neepsend. The imperial pale stout, Master of Puppets came out at a whopping 11.5%, and tastes mainly of chocolate! Meanwhile, Dave couldn’t find any communion wine…

Steel City attended the European Parliament All Party Beer Group’s pre-xmas bash with their AFA pale and Mayhem stout. The beers went down well, and the latter raised both eyebrows and chuckles depending on political allegiance! A particularly interesting reaction was observed from a Tory MEP… Both beers are available (at time of writing!) from…
