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

440ml can from Asda. Hazy gold in colour with a short-lived, white, head. Sweet, juicy, aroma of guava, pineapple and floral hops. Easy drinking, with more sweet citrus and tropical fruits, some pine depth, light malts and a dryish finish. Good.

Keg at The Bear (CBC) Paddington, 12/06/23. Hazed orange with a decent off white head. Nose is orange zest, grass, pine nip, ripe melon, grapefruit. Taste comprises juicy tropical fruits, pine needle, orange zest, melon, grapefruit, bitter sweet tropicana. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juice laden hop bitterness. Not bad if running a touch on the sweet side.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Slightly light gold, clear with a small uneven film of white head and some lacing. Light biscuity aroma, not a lot here really. Taste is sweet, touches of toffee and citrus. Nice balance with light bitterness in the finish. I want to like this but it's a challenge. A bit dull.

Cask at Black Country Arms, Walsall. Pours a golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just hints of floral hops and nuts. In the mouth it fluctuates between bitter and sweet with the bitterness gradually increasing. Flavours of pine, melon and tropical fruit plus traces of citrus, spice and herbs. Finish is quite ibtter and slightly dry. This is a decent pale.
