Description
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 the Plough. Almost black in the the glass. Naked at the surface, dotted spots on the glassware. Lightly roasted malty smell, hints of chocolate. Malt-driven taste of liquorice, prunes and chocolate. Lightly roasted ending. Nice, a tad too sweet though. (Worcester 29.06.2019).

3rd May 2019; hand-pulled half-pint at the 46th Telford Drinks Festival at The Crown Inn, Oakengates. Dark Porter with a tanned head. As you'd expect from the name there is a big chocolate presence within the brew, both aroma and taste wise. Not overpowering though, but above subtle. Liked it. I just wise Porters had a little more body depth.
