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

Half-pint, draught at 1000 Trades. Hazy pale golden body, white head leaving lacing rings down the glass. Fresh and promising tropical fruity aromas. Citric moments to a tropical fruity flavour profile. Hop fruity finish. Refreshing. (Birmingham, 23.04.2025).

Tap at the breweries' barrel store. Clear pale yellow-gold with consistent head, good lacing. Grainy with some fruity citrus and oats. Semi-dry, near medium bodied with a late modest hop juice burst. Inoffensive but a bit lacking in flavour compared to their usual offerings.
