Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Triple Point Brewery & Bar
Brewery and tap housed in a plain modern shed, but quite nicely done inside with an open bar area and the brew-plant to one side further back behind a glass screen. Also has about as much seating again outside at wooden tables on the front yard. Alpha Bitter, Gold and Fresco on the three cask taps, with 11 craft beers in a range of styles also available from the keg taps. Although in a rather uninspiring former industrial area, it is located inside the ring road so not far from the city centre and worth the short walk if you want to try something a bit different.

A brewery tap, the brewing vessels are at the rear of the building down one side, the front and other side are fitted out with seating, mostly hipster high. At the front outside is a scaffolding and polycarbonate shelter, too chilly to use on my Saturday afternoon visit but a few hardy souls (nutters) were sat there. The punters weren’t as young and hip as I feared but the staff were. The building is typical modern industrial ie breeze block, painted brick with steel frame and corrugated steel roof. There’s four pulls for cask, a keg horseshoe and a bank of wall mounted taps; nine kegs and three casks available on my visit. A couple of casks were guests, the horseshoe seems to be for the “tank” beer they advertise. Unlike Steve’s visit in 2019 it was fairly busy, sadly sat at the next table was a US gobshite, still not sure if he was knowledgeable or not about brewing, certainly boring.

When I arrived here on what was now early Saturday evening the place was deserted, bar two other single guys on the inside tables.
The bar area on the left as you enter has an easy to understand large chalk board on the back wall above it and some young enthusiastic serving staff behind it and strangely, as the reviewer below mentions, there were a range of beers with both cask and keg versions available with the cask at 25 to 30p a pint less. I actually went for a keg beer that didn’t have a cask version in the shape of something called Twistin’ which turned out to be a hoppy easy drinking Märzen with a half at £2.10 for a 5.4% craft beer. This made it the most expensive beer of my weekend but that wasn’t an issue for me as I only had to consider what it would have cost me if I was drinking an equivalent craft beer in one of the venues in the railway arches of the Bermondsey beer mile.
I took it to some comfortable seating opposite all the shiny brew kit at the back and sat there thinking that this is a half decent brewery and tap room with decent beer and enthusiastic staff and it really deserves better patronage than it was getting. Fortunately whilst I was sitting there several large mixed groups entered so that by the time I left the outside bench seating was almost being fully utilised which was good to see.
This bar also scored for having some of the best toilets of the places visited over the two days and I always like a place that recycles kegs as urinals.

Following the demise of Sentinel, the brewery has risen from the ashes and is now called Triple Point. I suppose that one advantage of buying a business that has gone into administration is that you don't have to charge sky-high prices for your product, and my half of Triple Point Debut IPA 5.5% at £2 (when I had paid a similar price for a 3.3% session beer three years ago under the previous management) illustrates this. Other problems remain, like the lack of some beers on the bar at the time of my visit, caused (I was told) by one of their new beers selling out after proving more popular than anticipated and nothing being ready to replace it. Anyone familiar with my prejudice against new world hops will be surprised that I enjoyed an IPA featuring simcoe and mosaic, but this was because (whether by accident or design) the brewer had achieved a fair degree of bitterness (40 IBUs apparently) rather than the expected modern style tasting of fruit juice. I expect to be back for more in the near future.

I visited this modern brewery bar back in July and was surprised to find it pretty much empty and preparing to close early on my midweek evening visit. It perhaps shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to learn that the pub has since ceased trading, having called time in mid-September following a series of financial problems. The premises was very much as you might expect from a modern brewpub, set up in a former carpet warehouse on the fringes of the city centre, it had the typical high metal framed ceiling, bare concrete floor and whitewashed brick walls that tick all of the compulsory craft beer brewpub boxes. On entering through the large plate glass frontage, the bar was immediately to the right with a plywood counter and bar back enhanced by some metal tube shelving. A nice feature here was the hop-shaped lamp shades that hung over the bar and a small greeter's lectern on the opposite wall, presumably used during peak dining hours. High tables and stools could be found opposite the bar , with scaffold legged tables and mixed chairs through the rest of the room, which runs a long way to the rear, down the right hand side, with the brewing equipment visible through windows to the left. Each table was decorated with a vase of fresh flowers and had a selection of condiments for those ordering from the simple menu with limited main course options. At the back of the room, the kitchen was visible along with access to the toilet facilities. An '80's soundtrack played very quietly in the background, but the almost entire lack of customers meant I was still able to hear it fairly clearly. Outdoor seating in the form of picnic benches was available in decent quantities around the sizable front forecourt.
Just the three cask ales, both from the in-house Sentinel brewery, were available on this visit - SB, American Red and Sentinel Gold - with the latter costing a very reasonable £2.95 a pint. I found it to be a pretty good drop of ale and enjoyed supping it whilst taking in the vast brewing vessels and tapping my toes to cheesy '80's hits.
It's a shame that a centrally located brewery bar (albeit on the very fringes of the city centre) was unable to last more than a couple of years. The bar was a good stopping off point for football fans heading to Bramall Lane and there are a few good pubs within striking distance, making it a good addition to a crawl of this part of the city, but this was obviously not enough to sustain trading and we have to console ourselves with the fact that the local ale scene is still thriving despite this loss.

As this is a brewery tap place I was expecting a reasonably good variety of beers. I wasn't disappointed. Of the 6 beers available on handpull 5 were of differing style - pale, traditional bitter, stout/porter, IPA and blonde. 3 of the beers were Sentinels own with the cherry porter being very nice. The seating is fairly basic long tables and chairs. I'm afraid that I wasn't as keen on the aroma as ROB, and have to agree with MS Camra, but I did like the place.

Good open longish room with the bar on the left as you enter. Full details of the available brews on the wall behind the bar. Six hand pumps and various kegs with a fine range of strengths. Will return here at some stage.

ROB Camra left this review about Sentinel Brewhouse
A brewery tap with the 15 bbl brew kit inside. It's a large, very shiny American brewing plant, so automated that the mash tun even digs itself out!!! You could smell the brewery about 400 yards away, so we knew that brewing was going to be in progress during our Sunday afternoon visit. The bar is to the left as you enter. The brewery is just beyond that in an enclosed area. The rest of the space is filled with long tables and some standard dining tables. 4 Sentinel cask beers available on the bar plus 2 guests. These are separated into 2 banks of 3 with several craft keg options in the middle. I had a pint of Sentinel Pale and then a half of their IPA, I enjoyed both of them. MS CAMRA liked the pale, but wasn't happy with the brewing smell, so we had to leave. We'll certainly be coming back here.

Very friendly place with enthusiastic staff keen to know how we found the place and what we thought of the beers , very modern inside with much of the Brewery on view , busy with a good mix of home and away fans for the nearby Bramall Lane .
Did not eat but the food looked very good , special pre-match deal pint of Cask Ale and huge chip butty £6 .
My pint was Sentinel Sheffield BB a good pint if a tad cold .
The urinals are made from old lager kegs !
I enjoyed it here , not traditional at all but worth a visit .

A new brewery and tap that has been sited in a former carpet showroom in a part of town where pubs are thin on the ground. In its favour is the proximity of Sheffield United's Bramall Lane ground, and the presence of a number of modern flats aimed at students and young professionals. The bar itself is very smart but the building lacks any resemblance to a pub. Two banks of three hand pumps flank a font gantry with half a dozen keg lines, though I did notice a couple were duplicates, and two of the keg beers were also available as real ales. There's a good range of beers, from a session bitter at 3.3% through to an IPA, which was too peachy for me. I did enjoy the best bitter and the stout, though. We thought the beers were well made and in good condition, though perhaps a trifle cold from an over-enthusiastic cooling unit. Glasses are oversize and lined and come in several modern styles to suit the beers. The team running the place seem keen on what they're doing, and I would guess that a lot of money has been put into this new venture. I wish them well.
