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 Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell, London, 19 May 2023) Hazy pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, apricots and toast. Malty, fruity taste with notes of citrus, apricots, grass, toast and a mild earthy/herbal bitterness. Light body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.

Draft at the brewery. Poured clear, almost black, with an everlasting frothy, light tan head. The aroma is roasty, dry ashtray. The flavour is over moderate liqourice bitter, with a crisp, dry, earthy, herbal, ashtray, light floral, woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A super BIPA with a little body and less carbonation which suits the style.
