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.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A red-brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is a somewhat weird sweet one with notes of prunes, while the flavor contains notes of prunes, smoke, and roasted malt, which doesn’t give the beer any dryness - the flavor is also somewhat weird, but I can’t figure out what it is.

Cask@26th Burton upon Trent Beer Festival. Amber/Yellow beer with a dry citric aroma and a caramel flavour with a dry finish, overall a lot of toffee to the flavour. The beer is reasonable for a strong tasting bitter.
