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 Sophie's Beer Store. Pours dark, small beige head. Aroma is nutty, malty. Light bodied with very much a basic back to earth old school stout feel about it. Roasted malt to the fore with some mild coffee hints. Ashy, bitter close. Ok

Keg @ Bailey Head. Misty yellow appearance, small white head. Overall character seems to be focussed on rhubarb and custard sweets from the days of yore, both coming through nicely on the aroma and taste, sweet but pleasantly so with a good sour edge. Bit novelty, but not too bad.

Keg @ Tap & Tandoor, Peterborough. Pinker-red but reddish with a small head. Has light red berry notes and an extremely low sourness, a hint of sweetness, is fine but nothing too stated here.

Loving the OMT style bottle, name and style! It pours crazy cloudy deep chocolate with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is rich and chewy, intoxicating, incredible amount of dried fruit, prune, date, raisin, sultana, fruit cake, toffee, caramel, Dr Pepper, cherry cola, salty, spicy, dandelion & burdock and sticky booze. The taste is toothy and chewy, rich and fulsome, bitter - sweet, oak, spice, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, prune, date, port, fruit cake, Christmas pudding, marzipan, Dr Pepper, cherry cola, burnt toast, umami, warming booze (but not 13%+), brandy snaps and figgy pudding with a toasty, warming finish. Fulsome body and fine, prickly carbonation. A big toothy, chewy fruity number. Nice depth (especially as it warms up) and balance. Fun stuff.
