Brown malt porter · 440ml
Ironmonger
A proper brown malt porter, built like the trades this end of Sheffield was named for. Roast, toffee and a bitter spine that holds the roof up.

About this one.
Attercliffe made knives, files, crucibles and half the cutlery drawers of the Empire. Ironmonger is our nod to that: an old-school London-style porter brewed with actual brown malt, which costs more and tastes like it.
It is the staff beer. When the shift ends and the floor is mopped, this is the tap that gets opened. Make of that what you will.
