OVER THE past few years, the West Midlands – like the rest of the UK – has seen a significant rise in the popularity of real ale and craft beers.
The Second City has also seen an increase in the number of top quality independent breweries emerging.
One of the most highly rated is the Birmingham Brewing Company which has been brewing beer at its base on the Stirchley Trading Estate since 2016.
The brewery prides itself on creating a selection of quality beers which all Brummies can drink, enjoy and be proud to put their name to.
Its mission is to make great-tasting, distinctive beer using the best ingredients it can find.
Through its core selection and beyond, brewers source the best British Floor Malt, hops, barley, oats and much more to create the best beer for every Brummie – and for every occasion.
And what better place to brew beer – Birmingham is renowned for having arguably the best water in the UK – fresh from the Welsh mountains in the Elan Valley.
Couple this with the brewers’ extensive knowledge of ingredients and talent and you have a dream combination.
‘Something for everyone’
The Birmingham Brewing Company has an extensive range with something for everyone.
For those who love pale or golden ales, there is the ‘Pale Brummie’ and for connoisseurs who prefer their beer on the dark side, there is the ‘Stout Brummie’.
Stirchley Lager caters for those who have that as their tipple of choice and for drinkers who want to go alcohol-free, there is the ‘Sober Brummie’ – great taste without the alcohol.
The Birmingham Brewing Company has its very own taproom in Stirchley – a suburb which itself has been highly acclaimed in the past few years as being one of the best places to be in the
West Midlands. There, you can try all that this fantastic brewery has to offer.
And, for those with an interest about the process of creating beer, there are brewery tours, providing an enlightening insight into how all these brilliant Brummie brews are made.
The Birmingham Brewing Company is easy to get to via public transport – West Midlands Railway’s Cross City Line goes from Birmingham New Street, Bromsgrove and Redditch to Bournville Station which is just 0.4 miles (a three-minute walk) away.
And there are plenty of buses which go along the Pershore Road from Birmingham city centre and south Birmingham.
