Hyphen- ABV 4.7% Pale Ale
Kelham Island Brewery – http://www.kelhambrewery.co.uk/
Worrall Festival Ale- ABV 4.2 % A very light tasty ale, brewed with the finest blend of Cascade and Amarillo hops for an aromatic hit of berry fruits and a sorbet circus zing perfectly complimented with British lager malt. A golden beer for a golden summers evening.
Pride of Sheffield- ABV 4% A light copper bitter crafted from a range of choicest English malted barleys including Maris Otter, Tipple and Crystal malts. Spicy British hops complement the malty, caramel flavours and fruity American hops add a refreshing bitter sweet palate.

Ossett Brewery – http://www.ossett-brewery.co.uk/
Yorkshire Blonde- ABV 3.9% Our most popular permanent beer, this pale coloured ale is full bodied, well-rounded and slightly sweet on the palate. A generous late addition of Mount Hood hops result in a delicate fruity hop aroma.
