Description
We forged Firebrand in 2012 in a converted milking parlour on the untamed edge of Bodmin Moor, North Cornwall. The idea was born from our passion for beer made from all-natural ingredients, Cornish spring water, and American hops.

We brew beer that we love to drink and pride ourselves on our craft. Whether it’s a Hazy Vegan IPA or a Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, we regularly refine and tweak our recipes to brew the best beer we can.

Originally launched because the co-owner and head brewer of Penpont Brewery Joe Thompson wanted to brew a more modern style so Firebrand Brewing Co. was created.

Can from KWM, I think. Appearance - cloudy yellow to orange. Fluffy white head. Nose - fresh orange juice plus freshly peeled tangerine. Taste - quite rainy, then orange and pith. Palate - light bodied, dry and bitter middle and finish. Overall - decent.

Second rate of 2021; 440ml can, BBE Aug 2021. Drank at home on 5th Jan 2021. Exploded out of the can, a real 'gusher'; may have been infected because it was nothing like a Belgian Dubbel I've ever had. Anyway it was almost black in colour, the foaming head a deep tanned affair. Plenty of orange and cocoa about, but in a funky/semi sour/off sort of way. A lesser man would have struggled with this, I just gave my son half of it! My rating score is a kind one.

Can from Simply Cornish in Looe, drunk whilst participating in a Wycombe museum online event: Beer, wine and gin; what is the most historic drink. Cloudy golden-orange with a white head and a light fizz. Creamy mouthfeel, verging on chalky. Tropical aroma, flavour of orange, mango, an intriguing twist of coconut and a little spice. Somehow feels chewy, which I like. Good balance of sweet and bitter. Rather nice I thought. Oh, and you'll be glad to know that beer was voted the best historic drink at the event.
