The ownership and running of the Beer Shed was transferred in late August 2023 from Russ Dignan (the founder and owner over the last eight years) to personnel at nearby Torrside Brewing. Their intention is very much business as usual, and not to create a Torrside Tap.

The Beer Shed is a narrow micropub offering both a tap room & bottle shop. It features a range of interesting beers from the peak district and beyond. Opened in November 2016, this is a somewhat cosy two level pub in a converted shop. Seating comprises fixed bench style and tables & chairs. Four hand pulls serve changing beers normally from local (micro) breweries and Torrside, plus a cider. Eight fonts dispense a real cider plus a selection of craft beers and German Rothaus. There is a range of bottled beers to take away or to drink on the premises. Nuts and crisps are also available but no hot food and there are no fruit machines. The cellar room is available for parties and groups.
