Having started as a budding homebrewer in 2014, brewer and brand owner Nick Law can only be described as a brewing, balding, worshipping, modern monk. Taking his passion for craft beer, creative perfectionism, and devotion to his Christian faith, Emmanuales was born out of a desire to play his part in the great tradition and heritage of hospitality and brewing as started by the Trappist Monks, cha
mpioned by the ale-loving reformer Martin Lurther, and perfected by Ireland’s favourite son, Arthur Guinness. Having obtained a license to turn his terraced house cellar into a small-scale commercial brewery in 2015, it became quickly apparent, due to popular demand for the elusive Emmanuales, that the business needed to upscale. Moving in with The Sheffield Brewery Company – based in the heart of the city’s industrial quarter – at the start of 2016, Emmanuales started brewing using the brewery’s pilot kit. In the summer, Nick assumed the role at The Sheffield Brewery Company as Brewery Manager. Emmanuales is now part of The Sheffield Brewery Company family, brewed, bottled and perfected on site in an old Victorian polish factory. Our aim is spread the good news one beer at a time. We are who we are and we aren’t ashamed of it. If religion ain’t your thing, that’s cool; we’re not out to force religion down people’s throats – just beer! And, like the Christian artists throughout history whose paintings, even today, adorn many chapels and cathedrals across this earth, we want to make the best beer around to the glory of God. So, whether you’re a Bible bashing, rainbow guitar strap wearing, Christian nut, or you’re just a curious beer loving, couldn’t-care-less-for-that-religious-mumbo-jumbo type, come all you who are thirsty, and – in the words of Cliff Richard – raise up your glasses and drink to the King.
