Cannon Brewery, Sheffield - May 2014

Founded in 1868; Stones Brewery went on to brew various beers on site until the 1999 closure after a takeover from Bass.

On site Stones Bitter was brewed from 1948; an extremely popular tipple with the local steel workers. The drink availability expanded across the North of England in 1977 and was available nationwide from 1979. It became the highest selling Bitter in the UK by 1992.

The Stones Brewery underwent a rebuild in 1962 so was only around 37 years old by the 1999 closure. Stones Owner Bass relocated production to Burton on Trent and Tadcaster and the brewery has sat ever since.
