Sheffield – Hymn to Ninkasi

I noticed this venue on Untappd and it looked like it had an intriguing variety of beers available. They’re primarily a craft beer shop with plenty of bottles and cans to choose from, but they also have three beers on keg to add to the variety. The welcome was friendly, conversational and engaging, although they didn’t have any other customers for the entire time that I was there. They’ve got the 2025 Putty in can and I was hoping that they might have it on draft, but unfortunately not. The environment was clean and comfortable, although the team member said that she was surprised by how few customers had come in. It’s a challenging time of year to be fair, but I hope that they’re doing well generally.

I went for the 2024 edition of the Fairytale of Brew York, one of my favourite breweries. I’ll just copy and paste my Untappd description of the beer as that seems easier:

“I like a bit of smokiness 🙂 sweet, lactose and smooth…. good in short doses. Like me really.”

It’s a really decent venue and they have over 220 different beers available, so there is something that nearly everyone in that mix. They haven’t picked up any negative reviews yet, so they’re obviously doing something of a grand job. There’s an external seating area as well if you can catch the 25 minutes of sun that is available over the next three months, which adds considerably to the total number of seats given how small it is inside.
