As part of their 20th anniversary celebrations, the three brewers (Kieran Chadwick, Sam Jubb and Bruce Woodcock) from the second oldest brewery in Sheffield, Bradfield, will lead a tutored beer tasting and discussion.

Bradfield Brewery is based on a working farm in the Peak District National Park, and uses pure Millstone Grit spring water. This family-run business was established in 2005.

This event will explore the depth and breadth of the Bradfield range.

• You will be introduced to five beers, each in a 1/3 pint measure.
• The beers will provide a variety of both beer styles and a range of strengths.
• The beer to be sampled are:

(1) Farmers Blonde (cask, 4.0%), the best seller. This beer was created 20 years ago and has been the best seller since. This award winning, very pale brilliant blonde beer has citrus and summer fruit aromas making it an extremely refreshing ale.

(2) Farmers Jack O Lantern (cask, 4.5%). The October seasonal ale. An amber coloured, lightly hopped ale.

(3) Farmers Brown Cow (cask, 4.2%). One of the core range, that’s been around since Bradfield’s first year of brewing.

(4) Farmers Milk Stout (cask). This beer has not been brewed before. A Milk Stout has been in the pipeline for a while and Bradfield thought this was the ideal year to bring it to the table.

(5) and finally, Belted Galloway Stout (bottled, 8.4%). A decadent Stout brewed with a variety of speciality malts then barrel aged for 8 months in Scottish Whiskey barrels. It delivers rich cocoa and sweet dark fruit aromas and flavours up front, leading into warm whisky, sherry and oak notes with a silky smooth finish. England Country winner (Flavoured beer, wood aged) at the 2025 World Beer Awards.

This event will take place in the Power Room: over the bridge from the Main Hall, then turn left.
