GrinderBloke Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Pubs have got decent coverage here already, but nobody has posted photos of anything relation to Sheffield's breweries and the beers they produced. I can remember only 5 breweries: Hope Ladysbridge Cannon Kelham Island Wards (did it have another name) Does anyone have photos of the breweries, or the advertising materials used to promote the beers, iindeed I would love to see a scan of something as simple as a Wards beer mat!

Boo-Hiss), with the blackened arches was likely part of the Crown Brewery since the original Horse Barracks were wooden built and in a right state by the late 1840's. So quite a historic site.

At the time I was the newsletter editor and he gave me an article about the brewery for the newsletter, and I also did articles advertising meetings there and reports on the nights "entertainment". If I can find anything about it in my old newsletters I'll post it on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 If I can find anything about it in my old newsletters I'll post it on here. Article by me from Sheffield & District Steam society Newsletter of March 2002 Last Months Meeting, The Hillsborough Hotel The meeting on Wednesday 6 February 2002 was held at The Hillsborough Hotel on Langsett Road, Sheffield 6 with our hosts Del Tilling and Brian Hendry who run the hotel and The Crown brewery. A series of articles on brewing at the Crown Brewery has previously been published in this newsletter and it was now our turn, by special invitation, (the hotel bar is usually closed Monday to Wednesday) to sample the beer and visit the brewery. The bar has 4 of its own beers and up to 15 guest beers available but it was the 4 beers of its own, brewed downstairs in the Crown Brewery cellar and available in the bar drawn by Del using traditional hand pumps. These beers were HPA (Hillsborough Pale Ale) which most people drunk and thought an excellent pint, Stannington Stout, a traditional strong (5.0% ABV) dark stout, more suitable to some tastes than others perhaps but very much enjoyed by many of our members, Mappins IPA, a very strong pale ale (5.2% ABV), a new brew just brought on tap the very evening we were visiting and not officially available until the following day and another beer I didn’t get to sample on the fourth pump, this may have been Loxley Gold or one of the breweries numbered test beers. About 30 members were present and due to the small size of the Crown brewery our trip around it, guided by Brian Hendry took place in two smaller groups, one at 8:30 and one at 9:00. This was very interesting and backed up the previous articles in the newsletter. The bar prices were very reasonable and a fair few pints were sampled before the evening was out, sensibly most members who normally drive from the south east of Sheffield chose to come on the Supertram and so had a safe journey home. Del and Brian were excellent hosts and we would like to thank them for putting on such an excellent evening. We hope other evenings like this may be possible in the future but in the mean time if anyone would like to visit the Hillsborough Hotel during their normal opening hours details are available from The Hillsborough Hotel, 54 - 58 Langsett Road, Sheffield S6 2UB. Telephone 0114 2322100 or alternatively details are available on the Internet at www.crownbrewery.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
