The True North pub on Abbeydale Road has long been a Sheffield institution.
"Nine hand pulls – including their individual house ale First Blonde (using Maris Otter malt and Cascade and Willamette hops) brewed at True North Brew Co – and eight keg lines showcasing forward thinking UK independent breweries make a trip out of town worthwhile! Great food menu which changes seasonally and a large beer garden," said Jules.

The Hallamshire House is one of two Thornbridge pubs on the list.
Jules said: "Thornbridge Brewery neighbourhood pub offering full size snooker table, outdoor garden enclave and a variety of Thornbridge and guest beers. The regular pub quiz is top-notch too, head down early though as it’s a popular one."

Next on the list is Industry Tap, which is based in the city centre.
Jules said: "Newly opened Industry Tap is a city centre taproom. Just a short walk away from The Rutland pub and handily on the way to The Beer Engine too (or vice versa, depending which way you walk!). Over 20 keg taps, with a good amount of Sheffield’s Lost Industry brews and lots of choice across beer styles. A friendly family run taproom."
