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 Sainsbury's in St Albans, Herts. A hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit taste and aroma. Pleasant enough IPA but quite light.

Draft at the Shaking Hand, Shirley, Solihull. Poured almost black in colour with an everlasting frothy off-white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is roasty malt. The flavour is moderate liqourice bitter, with a silky smooth, rich, nutty, light dry ashtray, liqourice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with flat carbonation. A solid stout.

What appears to be a relatively rare cask offering from these Brummie boys, a cloudy pale gold with a soft fruity aroma, a nice fruity flavour and subtle bitterness. Yep, it's fruity alright bab!

Keg at the Attic taproom Stirchley, 18/02/23. Black with a tan cap that clears to a swirl. Nose is dark malts, spice, molasses, chocolate shavings. Taste comprises dried fruits, chocolate melt, hint of liquorice, spice, toffee. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Okay sipper but lacks depth for the hefty ABV.
