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.

330ml bottle from beer hive. Pours hazy pale gold, thin white head. Gentle to no carbonation. Aromas of lime cordial, and a whiff of something solvent-like. Taste has an unfortunate whack of cardboard up front, which gives way to mitre lime citrus bitterness and a nice chalky bite. Just about enjoyable, with a couple of flaws.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. No visible carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of lime, papaya, vine tomatoes and white grape. Flavour of cucumber, underripe kiwi fruit and orange peel. Medium body with a flat, oily texture. Very easy drinking for the ABV.

On cask @ the Haymarket. Appearance - golden with a slight haze and a nice head. Nose - elusive but pale malt and the faintest lemon note. Taste - toffee and oranges against a muesli backdrop. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - didn’t notice the big hop but it’s decent.

Manchester Beer Festival 2015. Black with next to no head. It’s very soapy in nose and texture with a small sweetness attached. The cherry is extremely light.

Cask, hand-pulled half-pint in The Station Hotel, Oakengates on 21st Jan 2015. Amber to golden body with a creamy head in colour and texture which gave a good amount of lacing. Light hop, citrus nose and taste with a fairly dry finish that is also on the bitter side.
