The week-long celebration of Sheffield city\u2019s breweries has returned – a vast array of events championing the local beer scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 9 to 16 March the city of Sheffield has its breweries and pubs hosting dozens of events in honour of the ever-growing South Yorkshire beer market.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These events range from festivals and brewery tours to art exhibitions – Kelham Island pub The Harlequin hosting a display of the development of beer labels within Sheffield breweries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A student visiting the Harlequin – Tobias Gurney-Savage, 20, said: \u201cI really enjoyed exploring the beer culture of Sheffield and how it has progressed over time,both the creation and the way they promote it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Art of Beer\u201d exhibition was curated by Richard Hough, a prominent figure known for his work as head brewer at brewSocial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running for the entire week, entry to the exhibition was free with visitors purchasing a pint from the pub downstairs before making their way upstairs to the artwork featured in the events space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Yorkshire breweries\u2019 (Abbeydale,ACorn,Neepsend and BlueBee) beer label artwork stemming from 2002 was plastered over the walls of the Harlequin pub\u2019s event room – a colourful display of how beer marketing has adapted over 20 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI loved the Abbeydale artwork, pale ale being advertised by a black chess piece and black beer advertised by white piece.\u201d said 19-year-old Connie Warrington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield Beer week was first introduced by Jules Gray and Clare Tollick; the friends were inspired by the popularity of the SIBA conference and Beer X festival. This inspiration kicked off the first Sheffield Beer week in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following on from the Art Exhibition, 2026 Beer week promoted nine collaboration brews such as: Abbeydale Synth City(pale ale,4.8%),Bradfield Brewery Nag Nag Nag (cold brew coffee porter,3.8%) and Loxley x Shakespeares Bitter Ol\u2019 Bill (best bitter,4.5%).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The celebrations came to a close on Monday 16 March, a commemoration of the South Yorkshire breweries wrapped up for another year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
