The city, which is home to 58 breweries, retained its title as the best beer town in the world, a report found.

With four breweries per 100,000 people, the steel city blew competing cities away in their bid to become the top of the hops.

Sheffield is thought to be the birthplace of craft beer and previously won the award in 2016.

The Sheffield Beer Report said “Sheffield’s brewing industry is a direct continuation of the city’s industrial heritage,” and its thriving business both during and after the pandemic is a testament to the city’s resilience.
