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.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the Drinkers’ Paradise. Slow gusher. Pours clear chestnut gold with a billowing, creamy off-white head. The nose holds lightly toasted, crackery malts, orange rind, old pine, hints of caramel. Medium sweet flavour with further crackery character, bitter grass and oily pine, rindy orange, a little marmalade. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes with light resinous pine, further lightly toasted pale malts, grass, aged citrus fruits. This is kind of an old-school IPA, and it seems a little faded as well. Those factors notwithstanding, it’s OK in some ways.
