Birmingham brewery opens new bar in Jewellery Quarter - how to get free pints

A brewery company in Birmingham has opened a new bar in Jewellery Quarter and they are giving away free pints.

Located in Stirchley, the Attic Brew Co. announced on May 13 that their Jewellery Quarter bar and barrel-aging facility opened today.

The new bar called The Barrel Store, located on Arch 32 Water St, opens today and to celebrate, they’re giving you your first pint of Intuition for free.

The Attic Brew Co. used crowdfunding to get the new bar and barrel-aging facility up and running. They had launched their fundraiser on Crowdfunder.co.uk.

They raised £46,060 with 325 supporters in 35 days and their fundraiser closed in December 2022.

On their fundraising page, they wrote: “We’re a couple of mates who set out with a vision to bring forward thinkingbeer to the people of Birmingham and beyond. We saw an opportunity to join a growing community with a fierce love for independent businesses in Stirchley, and started Attic Brew Co. to provide the option of better beer than the mass produced offerings you can get everywhere.

“Scraping money from some savings and a couple of loans, we cobbled together a brewery from equipment that was quite possibly older than the two of us put together. Nevertheless, it served us well and we started brewing beer to serve our local community and, since opening in 2018, we’ve been blown away by your unwavering support.

Because of you, we’ve been able to grow the team and improve our equipment, which in turn enables us to keep producing quality beers for you to enjoy whether you’re at home, at another bar or with us at the taproom.”

They further added that they went from brewing 800l of beer per week to now having the capability to produce 12,000l every week in four years. They have brewed 213 different beers in that time across 366 batches.

They opened their taproom in 2018 and it has become a hub for the local community in Stirchley.

The team added: “We’re pleased to have played a part in the growing popularity of locally-brewed beer in Birmingham. We’ve done a lot in a short space of time, relying on a great team, brilliant beers and of course some amazing customers. We want to make sure that continues though, so we can be a sustainable business that continues to push the Birmingham beer scene forwards for years to come. That’s where The Barrel Store comes in.”
