Description
Created in Birmingham in 2016 by cousins Josh and Calum, GlassHouse Beer Co. has grown in leaps and bounds on the back of its innovative vegan beers.

Graduating from Josh’s mum’s greenhouse in 2018 (where the brewery gets its name), GlassHouse had a rocky period over the pandemic but managed to push through by producing a great range of cans.

GlassHouse beer isn’t fined or filtered, and while it has been known to produce a milk stout or two, its beers are typically vegan. While they’re available nationally, the team’s glare is firmly fixed on improving and supporting the Birmingham beer scene.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a murky golden orange colour with a lasting thin white head. The aroma is grainy, peachy citrus. The flavour is moderate to light bitter and sweet, with a smooth, fresh, peachy, orange, light herbal, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Fruity but not tart or sweet. Really nicely balanced. Enjoyed this.

Keg draught at Martin Bros Micropizzeria. Light cream/yellow colour, hazy with a thin layer of white head. Lots of gentle Citra aroma, some white grapefruit, lemon zest, a little pineapple, tied together with vanilla malt. Similar taste profile, sweet with soft citrus, more vanilla, fading to a short balanced finish. Light body with spritzy carbonation. I really dig this one.
