The 11th Sheffield Beer Week kicks off on 10 March 2025, marking seven packed days of beery fun.
Jules Gray of Hop Hideout is at the helm. Each year Jules encourages pubs, booze shops and breweries across the city to do something special for Sheffield Beer Week, to really show off the very best of the Sheffield beer scene.
The 2025 programme will shine a spotlight on the Outdoor City of Sheffield, taking place during the Festival of the Outdoors.
Expect brewery tours and tastings, beer and food pairings, pub tours and walking trails, community events, and more.
