What's it like?

The Sheffield Brewery Company premises form part of the old “Blanco” polish factory now known as The JC Albyn Complex on Burton Road, Neepsend. The site is a wonderful working hive of micro-businesses ranging from metalwork specialists to web designers.The complex is situated in the established Upper Don Valley real ale trail that is internationally renowned within the real ale fraternity for the quality of its fine ales. At the Rutland we stock a range of Sheffield Brewery beers, a perrenial favourite being Blanco Blonde (4.2%)- Continental lager style beer brewed entirely from lager malt and delicately flavoured with aromatic Saaz hops from the Czech Republic.
Pete Roberts founded the Brew Company in 2007, quickly establishing an award winning craft brewery. Pete creates a staggering range of regular and guest beers, each hand crafted to give a fabulous range of very popular beers. The Rutland stocks a large rotating portfolio of Brew Company beers with Hop Ripper IPA being a clear favourite with staff and customers alike. Hop Ripper IPA 4.3% - an American style IPA made with Marris Otter pale malt and American Chinook hops for a real hoppy beer. The hops give this beer a grapefruit & pear floral background with a resiny green hop finish.
