About
When Phil Bennett began planning for the Beowulf Brewing Company in 1996 there was no brewing going on in Birmingham. The original site of the brewery was in Yardley, where independent beer production started in the city in 1997. Beowulf began in a disused ex Co-op shop. Our original “signature” beer, Heroes Bitter, is still popular and sits at the head of an capacious list of regular and occasional beers. Now on the shore of Chasewater near Brownhills, Staffordshire the brewery is awash with Regional and National awards. Beowulf’s dark beers attract particular praise, devotion and accolades. The brewery celebrated its first twenty years last year and in 2018 we will finally get it together to have a beautiful website… turns out the internet is not a flash in the pan! Please come back and see it. All our cask and bottled beers will be listed along with some other interesting stuff.

Half-pint, cask at Wellington. Shared with Finn. Beige bubbles at the top of a clear dark brown body. Clingy lacing. Promising smell of berry skins and dark malts. Blueberries up front to the taste buds, hints of liquorice. Mid-sweet malt-berry finish. Quite alright. (Birmingham 03.02.2020).

Pours a clear dark brown colour with a small bubbly beige head that quickly disappeared. Aroma is caramel, milk chocolate and light roasted malt. Smooth sweetish chocolate and malt flavour with a little dark fruit. Very nice.

On cask at The Wellington, pours black with a medium light brown head. Aroma brings out rich roasted malt and a little dark cocoa. Flavour is quite bitter, with lots of roast, bitter dark cocoa. Very bitter, metallic, and alcoholic. Okay.
