Located in the Loxley area of Sheffield, easily reached by bus, the Wisewood Inn is now home to the Loxley Brewery. There are 2 rooms. The upstairs bar is split into two, whilst I didn't explore the Cellar Bar below, which leads off to the brewery itself. At the rear is a garden with nice views over the valley below. All of the cask ales on were their own - Mosaic, Gunson, Lomas, Fearn, Halliday & Revill. Craft beers dispensed from the rear wall of the bar were Loxley Black Dog & Haggas Pale, Magic Rock Saucery, Abbeydale Voyager & Sureshot Sam Vines Boot Theory. Inside was nice and warm. The bar staff were friendly and knowledgeable, whilst the pub was also busy with a mixed crowd of both drinkers and diners.

Now a Loxley Brewery tap, this traditional-looking pub has been given quite smart (if plain) semi-modern makeover fairly recently by the look of things. Also seemed to be doing notably good business with family dining groups on a Sunday afternoon. Rear terraced beer garden with great views across the River Loxley valley below. I found five of the six handpumps in use, all offering its own beers, and my Lomas five hop pale ale (£3.30) was very enjoyable.
