BEER LIST THE BARRACK

 

White Park Light IPA 3.50% Cask Nice subtle beer with adequate but not OTT bitterness. Rustic grassy aromas and pleasant bakehouse flavours.

Springhead Outlawed 3.80% Cask A triple-hopped, light and easy-drinking American Pale Ale with a citrus aroma.

Idle Valley Vacant Gesture 3.80% Cask The beer is made with just one hop, Mosaic. We think that this hop is so good it deserves a light and unobtrusive base to allow its amazing aroma and taste to dominate the beer. If you like hops

Double Top Top Nelson 3.90% Cask A dark mild with a body which belies its strength. A strong roast character, mildly hopped with Fuggle and East Kent Golding hops

Phipps Cobblers Ale 4% Cask A pint of bitter that gives you a full range of complimentary flavour and a dry finish that leads you smoothly into your next pint.

Springhead Left Lion 4.00% Cask A traditional chestnut bitter, with a rich, creamy head, flavours of malt and plenty of hops, and a perfectly balanced dry finish

Springhead Drop of the Black Stuff 4.00% Cask A stunning porter; ominously dark but not heavy, smooth and easy-drinking, with the lingering finish of roasted barley. SIBA Gold winner for the region in it's category 2017.

Springhead Chocolate Orange Odyssey 4.00% Cask Based on the award winning Drop of the Black Stuff with notes of Orange & Bitter Chocolate.

G2 G2 Sail 4.20% Cask A uniquely flavored blonde session ale, with a subtle lemony twist which leaves a smooth tangy tingle in the back of your mouth, more satisfying then finding the Golden Fleece!

Lymestone Abdominal Stoneman 7.00% Cask Not for the faint hearted. Three powerful US hops dominate this monster of an American Pale Ale. From the crisp Maris Otter base to its massive hoppy finish, this is a beer that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Thanks for posting all this information btw - it's really helpful. In the end I didn't go this year, but I've just looked through what you posted and highlighted any beer 6% or over - this is what I look for. I particularly like pale ale, there are just 2 (maybe 3) in the entire list above.

 

As you can see, despite all these dozens and dozens of beers, few are of 6% or more. The majority are around 4%. Well...I can drink a 4% beer in any pub in Britain.

 

Shouldn't these beer festivals be about showcasing a wide range of styles, flavours, strengths of beer? There's a shocking absence of good strong ale - and it's not just the beer festivals but the pubs themselves.

 

Sheffield is great for real ale, but even in a city like Sheffield, it's a real hunt to find, for example, a strong pale ale on cask. Sheaf View, Kelham Island Tavern and Shakespeare's seem to be about the best bet - unless you can tolerate Thornbridge and their ubiquitous "Jaipur".
