Sheffield's beer scene celebrated a lively milestone on 10th January, as the Ale & Audio podcast launched their debut beer, GIMME SOME, at the Commercial pub in Chapeltown. Despite the winter chill, beer lovers from across the UK gathered for the event, marking the first brew collaboration for the podcast, recorded in a cosy 6×8 pub shed in Chapeltown.
Crafted by the acclaimed Overtone Brewing from Glasgow, GIMME SOME is a 6.5% Triple Dry Hopped IPA, bursting with tropical flavours of mango and peach. Inspired by the 1977 disco hit Gimme Some by Brendon, the beer's name had been kept under wraps for six weeks before being unveiled at the event.
The gathering brought together an enthusiastic crowd of local supporters and out-of-town visitors from Telford, Newcastle, Leicester, and Nottingham. Among the attendees was Pints of Sheffield, the city’s popular online beer and pub guide, known for hosting beer-focused events like the Abbeydale Road Beer Festival.
The Commercial pub, a cornerstone of the Chapeltown community, was the ideal venue for the launch. Not only does it serve as a favourite spot for podcast host and Beer Writers Guild member Jimbo, but it also holds the distinction of being voted Sheffield Star's readers' favourite pub last year. Jimbo has frequently highlighted the pub's warm atmosphere and famous chip butties on the podcast, even introducing international listeners to its charm during visits from the United States.
Paul Harrison from the Commercial expressed his delight at the event's success, saying:
"It was a fantastic event with a great turnout. Given the challenges the hospitality industry has faced, it was wonderful to see a pub full of like-minded people enjoying fantastic beer at the start of the year. A big thank you to Ale & Audio, Michael, Overtone Brewing, and everyone who supported the event."
Michael from Ale & Audio echoed this sentiment, praising Overtone Brewing's craftsmanship:
"We knew the beer would be great, but it's even better than we imagined. Overtone Brewing has done an amazing job, and we're grateful to the Commercial pub for being such excellent hosts."
For those who couldn't attend, GIMME SOME is available for purchase from Overtone Brewing's webstore.
With its community spirit and a beer that's as bold and exciting as its disco-inspired name, GIMME SOME's launch showcased the best of Sheffield's beer culture - a perfect way to toast the new year.
Chapeltown pub celebrates 10 years in national Good Beer Guide
CAMRA's Good Beer Guide, which is published annually, is the real ale drinkers' bible, listing all the best real ale pubs in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Entries are selected and written by normal CAMRA members who drink in them on a regular basis and are suitably impressed. The entries are not based on one off visits by inspectors, nor can you pay for your pub to go in the guide. Therefore you can trust that any pub featured in the Good Beer Guide deserves it's listing!
The Commercial at Chapeltown, Sheffield, this year celebrates being featured in the Good Beer Guide for the tenth year running, which I'm sure you will agree is a fantastic achievement. It is a well-deserved milestone, with the pub consistently serving a great selection of high quality real ales, always in good condition, and usually featuring beers from the Wentworth Brewery just a few miles away. The pub's traditional multi-roomed design (the pub was built in 1890) offering something for everyone, friendly staff, proper cider and occasional beer festivals and special events also help make the pub a worthy guide entry.
The fact that the pub counts residents of not just Chapeltown but also Barnsley and Rotherham amongst its regular custom is testament to the pub's excellent reputation.
The local branch of CAMRA will be visiting the Commercial to present a certificate marking 10 years in the Good Beer Guide and to join the regulars in the pub's celebrations on the evening of Tuesday 11th June and everyone is welcome to come along for a few beers with us!
