Established in 2012
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.

Taste of sharp pithy orange, passionfruit, some softer grapefruit in there. Finish of dry minerals and a moderate zesty bitterness. Very good indeed.

Can from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 1 month past BBE. Amber, light haze, nice looking white head. Aroma of fruit cake, malts, toffee, minerals. Taste of fruit cake, caramel, orange pith and zest, slightly herbal hop with bitter finish. A touch of barley wine sweetness about it. Medium to full bodied, warming alcohol on way down. A little rough around the edges but I like this, quite tasty.
