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.

Bottled. Hazy orangeish golden colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity, some floral notes, mild bready and caramelly maltiness. Flavour is a bit bready maltiness, and also has some floral and herbal notes to it. Quite watery feeling, with not too much bitterness.

Dark brown color. Tobacco leaves, coffee and slight nutty nose. Med full bodied. Very malty good mouth feel, but doesn’t deliver the depth of Hobson’s Mild. Decent straight forward brown ale.

Bottle from Stirchley Wines. Poured a light hazy amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is crisp yeasty and with a little mint. The flavour is medium bitter, yeasty and with a little liqourice on the smooth refreshing palate. I liked this beer, but its no ESB as it suggests here!

Hand-pulled pint in the excellent Cock Hotel, Wellington, Shropshire with my Dad on 27th July 2013. Light golden with a thinning white crown. Hop and mixed grain nose, the hops being floral and peppery in nature. Taste was also mixed grains with floral and spicy hop notes: the beer got more dry and bitter with each mouthful, or that’s how it came across to me. OK and thirst quenching: wouldn’t want to drink it all night though.
