A local independent beer shop has slammed the person who broke in to the business and made off with several hundred pounds' worth of product.
Beer Central said that the 'lowlife individual' forced their way into the shop's fridges and stole bottles of wine from inside.
The Moor Market business said it was 'disappointed' by the break-in, especially as it happened during what is famously one of the toughest times of year for businesses in the alcohol world.
Beer Central has been in operation for more than a decade, selling a wide range of beers from local breweries as well as European bottles and cans, fantastic wines, and plenty more (where else could you choose from a full range of mead?)
Overseen now by Megan Lindop and Ross Lindsay, it's a really lovely Sheffield indie to spend your hard-earned cash with.
Beer Central wrote in a statement on Instagram: "We're disappointed to share that Beer Central was broken into, with someone forcing their way into our fridge and helping themselves to £150-£200 worth of wine.
"January is one of the toughest months for any small business, and it's incredibly disheartening when someone feels entitled to undermine the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to keep an indie business running.
"That said, we're not letting it bring us down.
"We're fortunate to have two CCTV cameras clearly covering the area, so we're confident the lowlife individual responsible will be identified.
"As always, we really appreciate the support from you all. Thank you, Beer Central x"
When The Sheff popped in this week to check in on the team, they said: "There's a Sainsbury's across the road, if you were going to steal from someone why did you have to target a small local business?"
Of course, other Sheffield businesses have rallied around Beer Central, including the Dog & Partridge pub, who wrote: "I’m so sorry, guys. Let us know if you need a hand with anything."
Neepsend Brew Co wrote: "So sorry to hear this guys."
And Atom Beers said: "Hey guys we would love to donate a mixed case of beers for you to sell and hopefully recoup some of the losses pop us a DM."
There’s never been a better time to pop in and buy a bottle from this lovely business.
The Manchester indie heroes are making a triumphant return to Sheffield.
Following an absolutely belting headline set at Tramlines this year, it seems the Courteeners just can't get enough of the Steel City as they're announced as a headliner for next year's Rock N Roll Circus.
Fresh from a new album and nationwide tour, they'll be bringing their set of singalong indie anthems to Don Valley Bowl on Saturday 28 August 2027.
And they're in good company too, with The Vaccines and The Lathums joining the line-up alongside a brilliant mix of both established and up-and-coming talent.
Also joining the bill are The Guest List, Girl In The Year Above, Little Grandad, Cowboy Hunters, Cherryholt, Saint Clair, Ist Ist and Yorkshire’s Slates and south coast band Crystal Tides.
This is just the first wave of acts to be announced, with three more headliners expected to take to the stage over the bank holiday weekend.
Now entering its fifth year in Sheffield, Rock N Roll Circus has established itself as a big hitter in the UK's festival calendar.
Ali O'Reilly, Festival Director of Rock N Roll Circus, said: "Anyone who saw Courteeners at Tramlines last year knows exactly what Sheffield means to this band. They absolutely blew the doors off the place, and there's something about the connection between Liam and a Sheffield crowd that makes every show feel like a homecoming.
"To have The Vaccines and The Lathums joining them is a huge statement, but we're just as excited about the artists coming through on Stage 2. Bands like Cherryholt, Cowboy Hunters and Ist Ist are exactly why we love putting these line-ups together. There's something brilliant about watching a new band in an intimate setting and then heading into the Big Top for one of the biggest acts in the country.
"2027 marks our fifth year in Sheffield, which is a real milestone for us. We've grown with the city, the audiences have been incredible and we're proud of what Rock N Roll Circus has become."
Rock N Roll Circus returns to Sheffield's Don Valley Bowl from Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 August 2027, with Courteeners headlining on Saturday 28 August.

Pop royalty S Club announce new arena tour, with huge Leeds and Sheffield gigs
Daisy Jackson
S Club will be heading back toYorkshire on a newly-announced 13-date arena tour next year.
The pop icons have announced the Ain’t No Party Like A S Club Party tour, which will see Bradley, Jo, Jon, Rachel and Tina back on stage for the ultimate pop party.
The huge tour includes a night at the First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds, a night at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield, as well as two gigs at the O2 in London.
S Club are one of Britain’s most successful pop groups, formerly known as S Club 7, who went on to become a cultural phenomenon with their own TV series – one of which, L.A. 7, remains the highest-rated programme of all time on CBBC.
Their smash hits include Reach, Don’t Stop Movin, Bring It All Back, Never Had A Dream Come True, and S Club Party.
In 2023, S Club celebrated their 25th anniversary with a sellout UK and US tour, shortly after the tragic death of former member Paul Cattermole.
Now, five of the original seven are ready to bring the party back to Manchester, as S Club return to the stage.
They’ll have very special guests supporting on the tour too, announcing Boyzlife, the supergroup made up of the former Boyzone and Westlife members Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden.
S Club say: “We can’t wait to get back out on tour, see you all and celebrate the songs, memories and moments we’ve shared together over the years.
“It’s going to be one BIG party, and we want you all to be part of it!”
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 9.30am on Friday 6 November HERE.
