SHEFFIELD UNION BEER FESTIVAL - OPEN ALL WEEKEND!

Open to all over 18s. Non-students welcome. Free entry!



So far, we have ordered...

81 different cask ales, totalling 6,768 pints
19 different ciders, totalling 2,694 pints
3 types of fruit beer, totalling 1,350 pints

which means we have a staggering 103 different drinks, totalling 10,812 pints! This represents a 10% increase on last year.

There are lots of silly names of the ales too, including Skull Splitter (8.5%), Village Idiot (4.1%), Weapons of Mass Destruction (5.7%) and Hip Hop Green Bullet (4.3%)

Plus we welcome the return of last year's most popular ale, Brew Dog Paradox (10%). Make sure you come down on the Thursday to try this, as it's a rare beer, which won't last long.

This year we also have 14 different beers from Scotland.
