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

Pale gold with a chill haze, a bubbly white head and a soft fruity aroma. Atouch fizzy with mellow cereal malt, citrus hop spikiness and a dry bitter finish.

330ml can via Beer52. Drank at home on 19th November 2025. Poured into an old Corsendonk Grand Cru stemmed tulip glass. Slight haze in the old gold coloured body, white crust that faded quickly. Soft malty front with a semi sweet feel, some hop action calmed it down and it finished a nicely balanced lager/fest bier.

Can that was sat in The Good Intent's fridge for some time... presumably a Christmas 2024 special. Opaque ruby brown. Thick foamy beige head. Aroma had chewy rye spice and malts with sweet sugary berries. Flavourwise the sweetness is present but dialled down compared to the aroma... berries again. As well as sweet and spicy rye. A sour tang cones through. And some resinous bitterness. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. I like. The August 25 Best Before date doesn't seem to have been an issue.

Dark brown, near black, with a frothy / creamy tan head and a sweet caramel wafer aroma. Smooth and creamy, dry bitter roasted malt, somewhat earthy and leathery, coupled with a touch of caramel sweetness, finishes very dry.
