Glasshouse Beer Co
Microbrewery
in Birmingham,
West Midlands,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Glasshouse Brewery Tap
Established in 2018
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 taproom. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is grainy, light grassy. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh crisp, light dank, grassy, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, mineral, crisp, yeasty, light sugary hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Tastes very much like a sweeter rice lager.

Can from Eltham Wines. Sweet citrus, mango, papaya & nectarine aromas. Sweet citrus & tropical fruit punch in the taste. Very nice hop combo. Humungously fruity with a light hoppy edge.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a pleasing light creamy sweetness. Good Nelson here, can taste a light white wine and gooseberry without even trying and, that doesn't happen too often these days. Light bright citra goes very well as a companion, always did when you could taste the Nelson! A mild savoury hop vibe, not particularly skunky in nature, just savoury. El Dorado? Maybe a bit of Sakura on the back end, if you are looking for it. Delighted at the quality of the Nelson and the Citra here and the delivery of the same in this light crisp and highly quaffable dipa.
