The Kelham Island Brewery was a small independent brewery based in the Kelham Island Quarter area of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It closed down in May 2022.[1]

Fat Cat public house

In 1990 the brewery was opened (the first for 100 years to open in Sheffield) on purpose-built premises on Alma Street by the owner of the Fat Cat public house, Dave Wickett.[2] As well as the Fat Cat, the brewery owns a British-styled pub in Rochester, New York (United States), named the Old Toad.[2]

Its beer Pale Rider won the "Champion Beer of Britain" award at the 2004 Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) organised Great British Beer Festival.[3]

The brewery is situated next to the Kelham Island Industrial Museum.
