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 shared in London - cheers to Frog. Pours rich orange with a creamy, white head. The nose has rind, pale grains, or age peel, pine needles. Meidum sweet flavour, lightly toasted grains. Meidum bodied with fine carbonation. Resinous finish, lightly warming, more toasted grains, citrus peel. Pretty basic.

33 cl bottle from tosano. A dark amber color with losts of tiny bubbles coming up, massive thick and everlasting creamy foam, sticking everywhere, sediments in the bottle creates swirling cascades, wow. Not aggressive on the nose, it has some resin though. Flavors are hopcentric with a slack of burned malts and brown sugar in backround, also lots of yeast providing an earthy character. Burned sugars, wood, minerals or molten snow, bitter orange, lemon peel and tangerine, lots of grass and leaves. Flavors are funky, shroomy, kinda moldy giving a raw feel. Taste is bitter, and heavily bitter, loads of bittering hops here, though there's a faint attempt of malts to provide some sweetness in the beginning, promptly washed away, in the middle there's adecise citric acid tone. Body is thick, dusty yet fluffy texture, finish is short on the aromatic side but never ending for bitterness leftover. Heavy, alcoholic. Interesting, i bet it pairs well with raw grilled meat and hard rock, bang!

0,33 boks delt på RBHD-samling hos Odd Gunnar, okt-17: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Deilig humlearoma og smak med plenty av tropiske frukter, tørket fiken, appelsinmarmelade og furunål i lekker kombinasjon. Maltkroppen bærer det hele ubesværet.
