Steel City Brewing

Cuckoo brews at Lost Industry Brewing about once a month, usually collaborations producing something a bit fun!

    In 2015, Steel City managed to brew 7 times. Dave decided this was a frankly ridiculous state of affairs, so with grit, determination and sheer hard work has managed to get 2016’s tally to 4… The final brew of the year is a collaboration with Imperial brewery of Mexborough (well, Dave has emptied their hop…

    Steel City’s brew for September is a home collaboration, and as Dave owed collabs to both Mike at Landlocked and Jimmy at Lost Industry, and has an eye for a BOGOF bargain, it’s a three way collaboration. AFA (which stands for Absolutely something something…) is a pale hoppy number, 111ibu and featuring Chinook, Kazbek and…

    Wait ages for a Steel City beer then three come along at once… sort of! Three collaborations, two ‘away’ and one ‘home’. Firstly, away at Imperial in Mexborough along with Isaac from Catalan brewery Reptilian. Isaac’s favourite style is Double IPA (His IBUprofano weighs in at 9.5% and 256IBU!), so Dave and Dale were happy…

    Another month passes without a Steel City brew… but finally a second brew of the year is on the horizon! Forked Tongues is a ‘home’ collab with Isaac from Spanish craft brewery Reptilian. The collab has been an idea since meeting at Birrasana beer festival in Catalunya a few years ago, and is finally happening.…

    In a slight (OK, more than slight) change of plan, since the last Beer Matters went to press Dave realised that he wouldn’t have time to fit in another brew for Anti-Reinheitsgebot 500 at the end of April.

    Steel City finally got back in the brewhouse after a somewhat prolonged hiatus. India Pale Ales named after places in India seem to do well round these parts, so where could be more apt than Bokaro Steel City? Perhaps slightly more industrial than Jaipur, the brew itself is anything but industrial. As you might expect…

    Steel City have been named by Ratebeer as the best brewery in South Yorkshire for the second year in a row, and made it a hat-trick of best beer awards, this time for Christmas Is Cancelled http://www.ratebeer.com/RateBeerBest/BestBeers-State2016.asp Late April sees the 500th anniversary of ‘Reinheitsgebot’, the German beer ‘purity’ law that restricted brewers to only malt,…

    A quiet autumn and winter at Steel City, mainly due to Dave spending a big chunk of it in America (he may even get round to writing an article for Beer Matters…) and the far east. Available now in bottles is War Pigs, an imperial-strength version of Craven’d Ale oat milk stout. First collaborations of…

    Steel City’s latest brew The Light At The End Of The World sold out before the casks were filled – in fact when the last cask was filled there wasn’t so much as a pint leftover for ‘quality control’!

    This year is the 41st beer festival Sheffield & District Campaign for Real Ale has run under the Steel City banner although only the second year at Kelham Island Industrial Musuem – the change of venue last year proved a very popular move. This year will be a very similar event to last year, not wanting to…

    Steel City have given the politics a break and gone back to their more usual music references with The Light At The End Of The World (a long-overdue My Dying Bride reference). This is a ‘typical’ Steel City Transatlantic Pale Ale, using Low Colour Maris Otter and a bit of Wheat Malt in the mash,…

    Steel City’s latest brew is another tongue-in-cheek political reference, referencing the suggestion the ECB print future Euro banknotes on Greece-Proof Paper.

    Steel City have gone all political in the wake of the election results! (A quick word from the editor – CAMRA is a non party political organisation – views here are from the brewer, who also advocates a system of democracy of one-man-one-vote as long as he is the one man with the one vote…)

    Steel City haven’t been back in the brewhouse since Troika, which should be doing the rounds now, but have been busy with collaborations.

    Diabolis Interium came out at 5.5% and is now doing the rounds, while Funeral in Carpathia is a very irresponsible 8.7%, look out for it on cask at the Shakespeare and in bottles at Beer Central and Hop Hideout. The Shakespeare also has the sole cask of Rum Rum Gimme More Rum, the first person…

    Steel City’s first brew of the year is an away collaboration… Dave realised that he’d somehow managed to not do a single collaboration with Raw in 2014, so put this right with a visit to brew Ceremony of Opposites (name inspired by the Samael album, obviously…), an oxymoronic Black IPA with the tropical-flavoured Galaxy and…

    Steel City’s ‘He’s Not The Messiah’ won the Silver Award in the Bitter category at Peterborough Beer Festival. Does this mean there was a beer that was more bitter than 127IBU?!

  • Steel City Brewing

    Two Steel City beers are currently doing the rounds. Firstly, He’s Not The Messiah is in the ‘usual’ Steel City style, ultra pale with 127IBU of US Magnum followed by loads of Centennial and Motueka after flame-out, and Citra & Chinook in the fermenter. Good enough for Jehovah himself! False beards not required.
