Half Pint Marathon 2025
This September, 26 venues and two breweries (spoiler alert: one of them is us!) are teaming up for the 10th Sheffield Half Pint Marathon. A month-long celebration of beer, art and independent businesses, it’s doubled in size for the 10th anniversary, with more venues than ever before to explore, and a fresh new look.
Organised by our friends at True North Brew Co, they’re brewing the cask beer for the occasion and we’re supplying the keg! Our beer is called Foam Roll, a 3.8% session pale ale with a juicy character and a robust bitter finish that punches above its weight. And True North have created P.E.D, a tasty 3.4% pale on cask.
To get involved, simply pop into any of the participating venues any time in September, where you can pick up your Half Pint Passport. The full list of venues can be found here – we’re pleased to say our very own Employee Owned pub, the Rising Sun in Fulwood, is one of them! Each time you visit one of the venues over the course of the month, and order one of the official Half Pint Marathon beers, you’ll get a stamp on your map. 13 venue stamps is a half marathon, or visit all 26 to complete the full challenge! Once you’ve hit your chosen target, you can claim your limited edition 2025 print. The venues and breweries alike all donate to local charity Sheffield Mind, and there are collection tins in each one too if you can help top up a donation!
Your map also has lots of other bonus ways to get involved too – there’s challenges to complete, photos to snap and exciting things to look along the way. We can’t wait to find out how you take on the challenge – of course, you don’t need to involve running, but we’re sure there’s some of you out there that will choose to combine the two! Who can find the best route between all the venues?!
