Andy C Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Thanks to all those who have visited the festival so far, all the comments so far seem quite positive, really pleased you have enjoyed it. Good news on the tram front - normal service is running today. The festival is open again today (Friday) from midday to 11pm. Live music tonight at 9pm is provided by the Downtown Roots, we have BenZ around throughout the day providing at table entertainment with magic and humour and hopefully the museum's steam powered River Don Beam Engine will be fired up for a demo at 6pm and 8pm. Plus of course beer, cider and food... We do expect Friday night to be busy, so we suggest getting down early to avoid the queues! Friday entry is £5 (reduced to £2 for CAMRA members), note there is a 50% discount for those getting in before 5pm. On top of the entry fee it is £2 for your glass which is refundable if you don't wish to keep it and programmes should you want one are £1 (info is online at steelcitybeerfestival.co.uk). ---------- Post added 24-10-2015 at 16:00 ---------- Saturday information... Final day of the festival, drink us dry! Open midday to 10pm. It being the last day of the festival many of the beers are sold out but there is still plenty to go at! Afternoon: Loxley Brass Band, Charity pub quiz and table magic with JayZ. Entry up to 5pm is £5, or £3 for CAMRA members, including £2 refundable deposit on the glass. Evening: Live music at 8pm with the Rock'n'Rollaz Entry from 5pm is £6, or £3 for CAMRA members, including £2 refundable deposit on the glass. All day - old fashioned pub games and tombola. Beer tokens to spend at the bars on sale within the venue. Edited October 23, 2015 by Andy C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderPete Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Evening: Live music at 8pm with the Rock'n'Rollaz Entry from 5pm is £6, or £3 for CAMRA members, including £2 refundable deposit on the glass. Surely £6 after 5pm is a bit steep since there isnt much left on when I left a hour ago, I went for the afternoon session and loads of empty barrels, probably from Friday night, first 3 days were fab and had a great time, tried what I wanted to. Attendance was impressive which you expect from a city like Sheffield renound for ale drinkers (look at all the ale pubs we have). Staff were very friendly, nice food great venue but there is going to be alot of disappointing people from 5pm onwards with only pale ales on and the standard porters.

taxman Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Looks like it's a sell out and the doors are now closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Indeed, it's a sell out and the festival gate is now closed. There is enough beer for those already in to keep drinking whilst the band is on. The beer list this year ran to 217 beers including the extras shipped in for Saturday, a dramatic increase on the 150 last year, however the festival has proved extremely popular, busy all sessions, massively above expectation. Roll on next year and an even bigger beer list. Thanks to all those who attended this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker7 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Any chance of keeping the beer list the same and doubling the amounts available. That way more people get to try the winners and there's a better chance to try your own selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
