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 direct from the brewery at 4.4%. Pale yellow, small white head, nice retention. Aroma of passionfruit, grapefruit, pine and spring onion. Just shy of a moderate body and good for the ABV, I note oats have been used. Noting an earlier comment on a watery body, maybe the recipe has changed slightly since September? Taste is fruity, hoppy and slightly aromatic with passionfruit most notable. Moderate bitterness. Good.

440ml can direct from the brewery. Hazy yellow, nice white top and lacing. Aroma of pineapple, melon, pine and a light creaminess. A moderate smooth body with a lovely little zing of carbonatation on the palate and not overdone. Flavour is fresh tropical juicy, pine, hint of coconut and semi-sweetness. Lovely, my favourite NEIPA to date.

440ml can direct from the brewer. Pours black, tanned small head, nice retention. Aroma of coffee, roasted malts, dark chocolate, hint of spice. Decent body for a 4.1%, its fairly light but not thin and quite smooth on the palate with a nice soft carbonation. Its also quite flavoursome in a session stout type of way. Its not gone for big bold flavours but you do get the coffee, roastiness, dark chocolate at the front and then a blackberry, spice and moderate bitterness at the back with a semi-sweet finish.

440ml can direct from the brewery. Murky gold, small white head head, some retention. Its malty, biscuity, dank, spicy, herby, fruity berries in aroma and taste. Reading up I think the Bramling Cross hops is the main flavour drive here. Nice body to this. Its an interesting take on a pale, and while unsure at first its one of those beers that grows on you, with its solid malt base and hop complexity.
