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

Sample, thanks Grumbo. Hazy, dirty brown, smaller beige head, not so lasting. Medium smokey nose, some bacon and quite a bit more wood, some sweet berry notes, a bit of alcohol. Nice on the nose. Medium bitter, some soury fruity presence, a bit of wood. Nice. Light body. Nicely drinkable actually.
