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.

Keg at the rake during the Firebrand tap takeover. Mahogany brown with dark red hues and a lasting cream coloured head. Aroma is berry fruit, stewed fruits, hint of dark choc, nutty roast and slight mineral. Flavour is tart berry fruits, dry roasted grains, cranberry and light ash in the finish. Palate is medium light with a dry finish . carbonic acid presents at the end. Very light for a stout but drinkable enough.
