About Us:
Attic Brew Co. is one of the leading independent breweries in the UK. Based in Birmingham, we produce great quality, approachable beers for local people.
Born originally from a desire to see locally brewed beer become more readily available to the people of Birmingham, our mission is to be the best loved brewery in the region, and we think we’re well on the way!
Whilst we’re best known for our delicious hop-forward pale ales (just like our flagship brand Intuition) and hazy IPAs, we’re passionate about brewing a wide range of styles to make sure everyone has a chance to enjoy our beer.
Our production has grown by more than ten times since opening, and with that our amazing team has grown too. Our state-of-the-art brewery and experienced team of brewers are capable of producing thousands of litres of the highest quality craft beer each week.
We operate two popular Birmingham bars, our flagship taproom in Stirchley and The Barrel Store bar and barrel-ageing facility in The Jewellery Quarter.
We are working hard towards becoming a Birmingham institution and more details about our story, team, culture and accolades can be found on our website: https://atticbrewco.com
