HALIFAX STEAM BREWERY
The brewery
Halifax Steam Brewery is run by 'Big Dave' (Earnshaw) and 'Little Dave' (Herron) in Hipperholme, Halifax. Located in a portacabin (which is claimed to be the former changing rooms for workers on the Channel Tunnel!) Halifax Steam is proud to be Calderdale's oldest independent micro-brewery.
What beers are here?
Over 180 different beers have been brewed over the years, but the core range includes Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Childcatcher (4.8%) and the dark but mild Uncle Jon. According to Little Dave, the beers are named after 'strange men' and 'beautiful women' - so look out for beers inspired by Siouxie Sioux, Jemima Puddleduck and Halifax's own Lily Fogg - 'Lady of the Night' and subject of a song by local folk musician Roger Davies.
Where to try
To taste the range of Halifax Steam beers, you need to pay a visit to the adjoining brewery tap, the Cock o' the North. Bottled ales are also available from the pub.
Did you know?
Dave Earnshaw is very proud of the brewery's small ecological footprint. From brewing kettle to bar is less than a hop, skip and a jump!
