Month: November 2016

We are excited to announce that over the festive period we will be appearing on THOR’S TIPI BAR for its first year in Sheffield! Located in the Peace Gardens in the very heart of the city centre, this Viking-inspired pop-up bar offers “cosy log fires, twinkling lights & Christmas cheer in abundance”.

As well as beers from ourselves and our friends at Brass Castle, there’s also mulled wine, cider, a hot chocolate station where you can choose your own toppings and an outdoor winter barbeque from Cow Boys (www.cowboysburgers.co.uk).

THOR’S will be open from 10.30am to 11pm daily from 24^th November to 31^st December (closed Christmas Day).

For more details, visit www.thorstipi.com.

When you first think of pairing beer and food, many people might not be able to imagine any further than a curry with a pint of lager. However, in recent years with the upsurgence of craft brewing, the wealth and breadth of flavours now possible in our humble beer is absolutely beyond compare, and we at Abbeydale believe that beer can do an incredible job at complementing and contrasting with a massive array of foodie flavours. And so we’ve paired up with the super-talented and imaginative culinary team at the Showroom to put together a very special menu:

Puffed beer crackers with ale-e-oli dip

Duck ballotine, goats cheese, beetroot, almond and cherries

Paired with Red Parallax, 4.8%, a Belgian style cherry ale brewed in collaboration with local music legends 65 Days of Static.

Sea trout, mango salsa, coriander crisp

Paired with Bear Hunter, 4.1%, a Mount Hood and Azacca hopped pale ale.

Venison ragu, parmesan mash, romesco cauliflower, vegetable crisps

Paired with Full English Breakfast Stout, 4.9%, a dark beer brewed with coffee, maple syrup and smoked malt.

Grilled mackerel, tomato, feta crumb, basil

Paired with Hop Smash, 7.4%, a grapefruit IPA brewed in collaboration with Kuhnhenn Brewing Co from Michigan.

Rabbit loin, pancetta, spiced carrot, rabbit jus

Virgin Tripel Saison, 8.5%, a spiced Belgian saison with cardamom, star anise and liquorice root. Brewed in collaboration with De Noord-Hollandse Bierbrouwerij.

Spiced plums, brimstone sabyon, iced yoghurt, malt tuille

Double Brimstone, 8.1%, a strong American Brown Ale and part of our 20^th anniversary celebration series.

Finally we’ll be finishing off the meal with Last Rites truffles, made with our sumptuous 11% barley wine.

The event is taking place on Saturday 26^th November and there are still a few tickets available! Please call the Showroom directly on 0114 275 7727 or visit the box office to book.

Winter is rapidly approaching, and with it comes more of a thirst for settling down for a cold evening with a pint (or several) of a roasty, toasty dark beer. So we thought it was about time for Black Mass to take its turn in having a bit of a makeover for our 20^th birthday celebratory series!

Given that Black Mass is quite the heavyweight already at a devilish 6.66%, we’ve ramped up some of the flavour components but brought down the ABV to create a robust yet still eminently quaffable beer. All hail BABY BLACK MASS – a 4.8% espresso stout, brewed in just the same way as our original sultry dark ale but with hefty additions of freshly ground coffee and lactose for a full-bodied, extravagantly bitter-sweet tipple.

Following on his spectacular range of our anniversary year artwork, Carl Flint (http://www.carlflint.com/) has once again reimagined the original design to give this special beer it’s own identity whilst remaining in keeping with the history behind it.

On sale from November 21^st so keep your eyes peeled for this popping up on bars round Sheffield and beyond soon!

Mine’s a pint!

Here at brewery HQ, Team Abbeydale are professed foodie lovers. We love good food almost as much as we love good beer, and the marriage of the 2 together is just exactly how it should be done in our books!

There’s pizza, and then there’s PIZZA. And we think the guys at Proove have nailed it. Using the freshest and best quality ingredients, they make pizza the ‘Napoli way’ with delicious crispy bases, the finest Italian meats and cheeses, all baked in their incredible wood fired oven.

And what, we ask, would you prefer to wash down that pizza slice with? BEER!! Of course. And we wanted to take the opportunity to showcase some of our favourite beers of the moment along side a specially crafted menu of antipasti, pizzas, parmigiana and even a naughty dessert.

 

Tickets are available from Proove:
