To mark the launch of Movember Stout, all male members of the Stancill team will be growing moustaches, culminating in a yet to be announced charity evening which will see additional funds raised for Movember. For each cask sold, the brewery will be donating to the campaign, which aims to raise awareness and help fund a cure for prostate cancer.
Thomas Gill, managing director of Stancill Brewery, said: “This year we’ve slightly tweaked the recipe and the result is a fully flavoured, highly enjoyable beer which also helps to support a really good cause. Since we first launched our Movember Stout back in 2014, it has helped to raise hundreds of pounds for the Movember campaign.”
“All the staff at the brewery are getting behind our Movember campaign this year and we hope that with the return of our Movember Stout, coupled with a number of events due to take place within our pubs, that we can raise lots of money for this worthy cause.” Stancill Brewery
Movember is upon us which means Stancill’s sensational seasonal stout is heading back to the pumps! Available throughout November, Movember Stout (5.0%) features roasted coffee and chocolate flavours which evolve and develop throughout the drink. The result is a pleasant, tasty beer with plenty of character.

The brewery’s single hopped IPA range continues unabated. We’re now pushing towards the 130 mark with the introduction of the English hop variety Ernest. The 5% golden ale will deliver apricot, citrus and spice characteristics in a wonderfully rich and complex beer.
Finally Acorn Brewery is delighted to announce that two directors of the brewery recently tied the knot. Founder and Managing Director Dave Hughes and Business Development Director Christy Winfield, were married at Rogerthorpe Manor near Badsworth. Of course the health and happiness of the bride and groom was toasted with a pint of Barnsley Bitter – what else! Dave and Christy then went on to honeymoon in the Maldives – you find any Barnsley Bitter there Dave?! 
Meanwhile, Brad Fitton has joined Stancill Brewery as director of sales. Brad has held previous roles at the now defunct Crown Brewery and Retford-based Springhead Brewery. In 2014, he was part of the original Stancill team who launched the brewery, and was responsible for developing the company’s sales strategy before leaving to pursue other opportunities. Brad returned to Stancill in August 2017, where he will be responsible for overseeing the company’s business growth strategy.
Brad said: “Returning to Stancill Brewery is a really exciting challenge for me. I’ve spent quite a bit of time working in the brewing industry during my career and it’s great to re-join the brewery team. I enjoyed working with Tom and Adam when they first launched their business. It’s incredible to see how much they have achieved in such a relatively short period of time and I’m looking forward to helping support the brewery’s ambitious future growth plans.” 
First up – earlier this year we brewed an “away” collaboration, a strong Tripel style beer called Trials and Tripelations, with the excellent chaps at Twisted Barrel Ale in Coventry. The barrel aged version of this has just been released by Twisted Barrel, and so we thought it a perfect time to have the guys back for the return leg. Together we’ve concocted a fruited rye ale, Forest Fruit (4.4%) with additions of blackberries, redcurrants, raspberries and chuckleberries.
You may have spotted on our social media that we’ve had some Americans in the brewhouse! All the way from North Carolina, Ass Clown’s head brewer and keen foodie Matt has created a maple bacon ice cream stout with us! Don’t Go Bacon My Heart (7.1%) contains 30kg of actual bacon from the lovely folks at Whirlow Hall Farm and beechwood smoked malt in the grist, balanced out with lactose and some lovely chocolatey malts for a slightly bonkers but magnificent flavour combination!
And from closer to home – after the success of last year’s “Getting Caught in the Rain” Pina Colada beer (we reckon we started a trend there) with Blue Bee, Josh has made the trek back across Sheffield to brew with us here. Introducing Are There Hops in Hell? – a 7.3% big fat hoppy rye IPA that will be making its debut at Steel City Beer Festival from 19 October.
We’re also really excited to announce that Brewdog Sheffield have selected us to partner up with them for Collabfest for the second year in a row, and our lemon curd on toast inspired Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy (5.5%) will be launched at their bar on 20 October, available on general release the following week.
And finally, we are of course releasing some beers that we’ve made all by ourselves! Especially for autumn, we’re introducing Pilgrim (5.0%) to the Brewers Emporium range, a spiced ale based on the flavours of pumpkin pie and a real favourite of the whole team here. Look out also for Destiny (4.3%), a light golden beer with Simcoe hops, and Restoration (4.2%), a pale ale loaded with Chinook and Cascade for a citrusy flavour and a lasting bitter finish.
Hope to see plenty of you for a pint down at Steel City Beer Festival!
