3 Feb 2009 There's more Sheffield beers in York! No we're afraid this is not Eddy behind the bar at The Gardeners Rest!! Eddy Munelly, co-director, was invited along with the rest of the Sheffield Brewery team to run a Meet the Brewer night at the York in Broomhill. Assisted by his partner, the Quiz Mistress, also co-owner of the Gardeners Rest, Pat Wilson (see featured on our Your Local page), the York's locals and friends were also entertained with a special Sheffield themed quiz. You can see the quiz winners below. First prize was a gallon of beer donated by the Wig and Pan manager, Andy, one of the brewery's core customers. A close second won the infamous Sheffield Brewery T-shirt. Tim Stillman, co-director and head brewer, also featured behind the bar (funny that!) educated customers of the York in the finer arts of crafting beautiful Sheffield Brewery real ale. Sheffield Brewery was invited by the York's owner, Jason aka "Golden Fleece" to produce a launch beer in November and this was named "The York Ghost" and sold out really well. Since then the brewery's beers have been featured regularly. Dawn, manager of the York (also featured in the photo), said "the Sheffield Brewery beers have been very popular and have been received very well by customers particularly the core range including 'Five Rivers'". On this wintry night the beer was flowing so well that Seven Hills ran dry and the Sheffield Stout was proving to be another favourite. Peter Rawlinson, co-director of the brewery said, "this is a great pub and the staff are really friendly and enthusiastic about providing real ales from locally sourced breweries. We're delighted some of our core range such as Five Rivers and Seven Hills have gone down so well." Eddy said "we've had a great night and we'll always support local initiatives like this to promote "real ale". The York has a great range of rotating beers and a lunchtime food menu which again focuses on locally sourced produce. We'll be promoting the York as another venue that our growing following will want to visit."

3 Dec 2008 Sheffield Brewery hosts a "band-a-roke" night with EKC's Karate group Steve of Elite Karate booked the Sheffield Brewery premises for a private party to celebrate another successful year with members of the Elite club. The home made meat and potato pie (and "Hendersons") from the Crusty Cob went down a treat and there were some fantastic beers on tap as part of the "do". Steve says "I can't think of a better and more unusual place to have a party or celebrate an occasion than Sheffield Brewery's great new bar and tour facilities". Simon Butler, amateur photographer, also came along and snapped the frivolities as can be seen by clicking on the link.

20 Oct 2008 Book a private party at the brewery! You can now book our bar for brewery tours, free beer and a cracking home made meat'n' potato and pea supper. Just click on Brewery bar for more details. We've had several groups attend either for birthday parties, corporate events or even a dating agency night! The bar was actually recycled from the University's Ranmoor Halls of Residence and it fits like a glove. Eddy Munelly, director says, "it was such a stroke of luck. We were tipped off by a good friend (we still owe him a beer or two, Mike!) who told us about the bar being scrapped. We shot straight up there and dismantled the whole thing and rebuilt it in the brewery. It's amazing how many folk now recognize it and demand is growing for a nostalgic night of revelry for all those graduates who leant against it in years gone by!!

15 Oct 2008 Paradise Pale - a very popular choice! The Sheffield Brewery had one of its finest moments at the Sheffield Beer Festival when it was selected as the best of the best bitter category when compared to all other Sheffield brewery entries. The pale ale brewed especially for and available at the Wig & Pen on Campo Lane is a very popular light ale. In its class it came second out of 21 national regional ales. Tim, head brewer, said "after last years trauma with the flood and the hard work we've put into rebuilding the brewery it's very satisfying to have another one of our beers selected"

21 Jul 2008 Go Wild for Mild in St Petersburgh: The Sheffield Brewery Company helped turn Alex's dream of brewing a beer into a reality. The idea was to feature the full brewing process from the hops to the pump in a film for his Fine Art Degree show. Alex is seen puuling the first pint at the launch at the award winning Kelham Island Tavern and says "we came up with the idea last summer in the beautiful city of St Petersburgh and I never thought we'd eventually get to do this. The guys at The Sheffield Brewery Company have been really helpful and special thanks to Eddy and Tim who have helped steer me throughout the process" Alex has agreed to provide his own editorial to explain how he came up with the name for the beer and we'll also feature some of his film work - so watch this space!!
