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.

Bottle from Bellingers, Jet Garage, Grove Nr Wantage, Oxon consumed at Kolding City Campsite, Kolding Denmark, 24-10-09 Pours dark brown with a light beige head. Nutty and caramel nose, the alcohol is a little rough at times but its a better than expected mild, though at this strength shouldn’t really be called a mild. There appears to be a little spice to this, but its a touch metallicy on the nose. A6 A3 F7 P3 Ov13 3.2

Cask handpull at The Hop Pole Inn, Aylesbury, Bucks, 21-07-09 Pours gold with tight white head. There is a little fruit and malt on the nose, these also appear in the mouth. Surprisingly bitter and a bitterness that lingers, the end is rather dry. Really quite enjoyable. A6 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Cask-conditioned at the Plough, Worcester 30/05/09. Deep gold with a slight white head. A decent hoppy brew, with some citrus fruit, a slightly prickly mouth feel and dry, grapefruit finish. Good stuff.
