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.

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter i Burton-Upon-Trent. Ultramørkebrun / svart. Aroma av røstet malt. Litt sjokolade. Smaken karamell & sjokolader. Hint av røyk. Bra - ut fra styrken.

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Golden brown, clear, very little head. Light notes of overripe tangerine peel, grass, a hint of sulphur. Taste is sweet, more ripe citrus, astringent hops in the long finish. Slick oily body with kumquat peel bitterness lingering in the aftertaste. A very British pale ale. Nice.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Mid-gols and clear with an off-white head. Caramel and compost in the aroma with a touch of what could be interpreted in mango.sweet taste, a bit cloying with some serious bitterness on the back half. Right... tastes a little bit like somebody took a golden bitter and added some sort of mango flavouring. I struggled with this one.
