About
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

Draft at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Poured a clear golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is malt and cardboard lager yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, crisp, dough biscuit malt, floral, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to high carbonation. As far as beers of this style go, it compared well, but at the end of the day it’s just too fizzy. Along with a rather odd, floral aftertaste, it really doesn’t make for a pleasant session beer.
