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

Cask at the brewery. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light tropical citrus. The flavour is light bitter, with a smooth, malt, light yeast, light citrus, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty light all round but still tasty and refreshing ale.

440ml can: BB 10th February 2024. Drank in The Boot on 27th October 2023. Opaque golden body, white crown. Intense citrus fruits with pineapple to the fore, grapefruit esters and flavours also pushing through. I really enjoyed it, unlike most Citrusy golden brews.
