Abbeydale Steam Hammer

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask, Occasional;
When Abbeydale first became a steam brewery, Steam Hammer was put out under the Beer Works Label, followed by the popular Drop Hammer and occasional Steel Hammer.
Heading out of town along Abbeydale Road, past Beauchief Abbey and onwards, we come to Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, a working museum of Industrial revolution machinery and working methods. A pair of gargantuan trip-hammers there provided the inspiration for the image on the Steam Hammer label even though the beer isn’t called Trip Hammer and the Hamlet hammers are NOT driven by steam. The picture on the label depicts a trip hammer which IS powered by steam. Sorry.. Anyway, the beer tastes good. Using a similar grist to Drop Hammer, Steam Hammer has Fuggles and Brammling Cross Hops added to give it a unique flavour and distinctive thirst-quenching edge.
