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.

Can. Trembling Madness online. Hazed pale gold. No head whatsoever. Not especially a looker. Nose has bready malt. Bit of toffee. Leafy hop. Taste is pretty sweet with a light bitterness. A tad flabby on the palate with low carbonation. Sweet bread on the finish. I suspect something went wrong here.
