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 Tick Beer, consumed 4 months past BBE. Hazy yellow-gold with big white head which recedes quickly. A citrus and stone fruit aroma. Taste is quite fruity, with zesty citrus, mango, pineapple, slight resinous quality, quite bitter for a NEIPA

Can from Tick Beer. Pours a moderately hazy orange-gold with two fingers white head. Aroma of sharp citrus, gooseberry and passionfruit, slight grassiness. 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.
