Sheffield Beer Week is returning, this year shining a spotlight on the ‘Outdoor City’ it calls home during The Festival of the Outdoors, and beer and food pairing.
Showcasing the city’s vibrant culinary scene alongside its thriving craft beer industry, visitors can expect a diverse programme of events between 10th and 16th March, including:
- Brewery tours and tastings: Go behind the scenes at local breweries, learn about the brewing process, and sample their latest creations. Visit the wealth of pubs, bars, beer shops, and taprooms to enjoy tastings and events.
- Beer and food pairings: Indulge in expertly curated local menus, featuring beers paired with delicious dishes.
- Pub tours and walking trail events: Discover the gems, explore the city’s diverse pub, bar, beer shop, and beer scene with guided tours and self-guided trails.
- Community events: Participate in family-friendly events, charity fundraisers, workshops, and book readings that celebrate the spirit of community.
- Sheffield Beer Week will also delve into the city’s rich brewing heritage, exploring its historical significance.
“We are thrilled to bring back Sheffield Beer Week and invite the community to join us in celebrating the city’s vibrant beer culture,” said organiser Jules Gray.
“This year, we are focusing on the unique connection between beer and food, while also honouring our city’s brewing heritage and the stunning outdoor city we call home. We encourage everyone to come out and experience the best of Sheffield.”
On the weekend of 7th and 8th March, to start the week, Sheffield’s craft beer festival, Indie Beer Feast, is back at Trafalgar Warehouse. It’s a celebration of great independent craft beer with brewery bars, street food, low intervention wines and fine cider.
The beer festival champions and supports the Everyone Welcome Initiative. Award-wining beer writer Adrian Tierney-Jones will be heading up, alongside founder and director of community initiative Women in Beer, Amelie Tassin, to host pop-up tastings.
