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.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, straw, spices, fruits, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, spices, fruits, and hops, leading to a bitter finish. The body is light.

Tap@Ørsted Ølbar, Copenhagen - Golden colours pour with white head. Sweet fruity and malty with some caramel malty backing, vague fruity and hoppy accents, kind of old school English take on a apa.

Gravicask, 5.0 % abv, at The 25th Tuckers Maltings Beer Festival. Bubbly layer, close to clear amber coloured body. Aroma of grainy fruits. Fresh fruit hoppy flavours offset by a backdrop of malty sweetness. Drying ending, slightly bitter. Medium bodied. Decent. (Newton Abbot 27.04.2017).

From rediscovered notes. Cask at the Hare and Billet, Blackheath (2016?). Dark brown pour with a beige head. Raisin and sweet malt aroma. Flavours of dark fruit and raisin. Does the job.

A very nice and quite uncompromisingly bitter double IPA. This was drunk with food like a glass of wine and it was all the better for it. The taste developed with bitter hops and smooth malt resulting in a nice mouthfeel.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the Drinker’s Paradise. Pours deep brown with a foamy, tan head. The nose holds mellow roast, a little cocoa, dark berries. Medium sweet flavour with notes of milk chocolate, more berries, a little butyric acid notes not much chipotle, some raisins. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Sweet finish with a flicker of burnt herbs, faint rubber, chocolate, soft roast, vanilla, low bitterness. So so overall.
