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

Keg at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Dark greenish gold, hazy with a small tight white head. The aroma isn't massive but neither is it especially muted. Tropical fruits, melon, pear drops and a little bit of grapefruit. Tastes sweet with a decent dollop of hoppy bitterness in the finish. Thin body, and by thin I mean super watery. It's ephemeral but enjoyable for what it is.

Keg at the Alexandra Hotel, Derby. Dark brown, opaque with a small tan head. Aroma is bitter chocolate, some sour cherry, some savoury yeast extract. Taste is tart from the outset with light bittersweet chocolate notes. Cherry chocolate on the bittersweet finish. Medium carbonation. Not a bad beer but a little bit unfocused.

On tap at the brewpub. Quite tasty, sharp, spicy. Belgium like. It's fine I would say
