About Us:

Attic Brew Co. is a craft brewery in Birmingham, UK, with a passion for good quality, interesting yet approachable beers.

Born from a desire to see locally brewed beer become more readily available to the people of Birmingham, Attic Brew Co. was started to help Brum establish itself as a city of great beer.

We're best known for our hop-forward pale ales and New England-style IPAs, but we're passionate about brewing a wide range of styles to make sure everyone has a chance to enjoy our beer. We're increasingly interested in lager production and have always had a soft spot for classic Belgian styles.

Our production has grown by more than ten times since opening, and with that our production team has grown too. Now operating a fully automated 30HL brewhouse, the team is brewing thousands of litres of beer every week.

We have recently expanded from our flagship taproom in Stirchley, opening a Barrel Store Bar in The Jewellery Quarter. We are working towards becoming a Birmingham institution and more details about our story, team, culture and accolades can be found on our website: https://atticbrewco.com
