Description
Attic Brew Co. was borne out of years of beer consumption and small scale production. Oli and Sam met at university in Cardiff where their beer obsession began. Sam began brewing in his bedroom of their shared house and continued after graduating, moving back to Birmingham and setting up his home brewery in his attic.

In 2018, after they'd had the ridiculous idea to start a brewery, Oli left his job in London and moved to Birmingham. They took out a loan, rented a run down old industrial unit in Stirchley and bought a small brew kit that was older than they were. Several months of painting, building and, finally, brewing, allowed them to open the taproom doors on the 23rd November 2018.

Attic was greeted with an unbelievable show of support from local drinkers, who bought into their varied beer board and new take on the traditional local (editors note; we continue to be indebted to you all

Can from Connolly's Wine Merchants. Pours a light cloudy gold with small white head. Aroma has a deep stone fruitiness, apricot in particular, somewhat sweet and resinous. This flows through to taste with apricot and mango, quite tangy, resinous, boozy, long moderate bitter finish, warming. Reminds me a bit of a fruiter version of a Ridgeway winter warmer type beer which is probably not a good thing. Tasty, boozy, a bit one dimensional.

Can from Connolly's Wine Merchants. Pours a cloudy gold with small white head. Lovely fresh hop aroma giving the fruit salad notes described on the can, melon and mango most notable, some light herbs. Luscious hoppy taste of melon, citrus, coconut, minerals, modest zesty bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Lovely stuff!
