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.

9/2/2020. Draught at Hop Lords, Worcester. Pours hazy pale gold with a good size fluffy white head. Aroma is hoppy, citrusy, grapefruit, touch of melon and passion fruit. Quite sweet, light bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Pretty decent.

On tap at Tilt, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out medium roasted malt, with a touch of earthy coffee. Flavour is somewhat harsh, with lots of roasted malt and earthy coffee. Heavily roasted and boozy, but not bad. It's okay.
