Heritage Beers Hand crafted cask beer from Sheffield

Cask ale is a huge part of British culture, and of Abbeydale Brewery’s history - a link to our past and a big part of our future.  A well kept pint of independently brewed real ale, enjoyed in a traditional British pub, is for us one of life’s great pleasures.

As well as our well known range of core beer, we always maintain different series of specials to give a bit of variety to your bar.  Here our designers are given themes and ideas to run with, and our brewers choose their favourites from our hop store to make sure we always have something new and interesting in stock.  Our Doctor Morton’s beers have been running for many years, including Pat Morton himself on the design, and feature some of the absurd humour that has always been a part of our brewery

In 2016 we engaged Sheffield based Field Design and artist James Green to update the branding and ensure the beers continue to look as relevant today as they still taste.  And in 2020 we made these beers available in can for the first time, using the same recipe as for cask with just a little sparkle added prior to packaging.

Hopback Series % Hopback Series %
Hopback Series Celebrating our very special Hopback A series of one-off cask specials, showcasing one of our very favourite pieces of kit, our beloved hopback! Originally used as a mashtun, this humble little wood-clad vessel has been with us since the early days of the brewery (although it is a little bigger than our very first ever mashtun!) Since our brewery upgrade back in 2010, the hopback is now used to infuse the wort with oodles of lovely hops after the beer has been boiled and made it out of the kettle, to ensure our beers benefit as much as possible from delicate hop oils and aromas that would otherwise be boiled away and lost. Using whole leaf hops at this stage also acts as a filter bed (our hopback has a bespoke, specially made filter plate as part of it) which helps to remove surplus proteins from the wort and aids clarity in your pint. A lot of breweries don't have this luxury, so it's a very special part of our brewing process and was absolutely instrumental in allowing us to build our reputation as creators of delicious, hoppy pale ales! So we're very much looking forward to giving it a bit of glory on our pumpclips this year - as designed by our very talented in-house artist, James Murphy

Hidden Treasures of Sheffield Celebrating some of our city's little secretsOur beloved hometown has such a rich history, and so much of the everyday is overlooked in favour of more glamorous, visible landmarks. We wanted to shine a light on the bits of our city that we think are truly special, and that you might not necessarily have come across before. The beers themselves will be the classic, sessionable pale ales that we're so well known for, but that we also don't get too much cause to shout about every day. Here's to the humble, the timeless, and the dependable.
