The brewery behind Intuition and Birmingham Pilsner have just launched their crowdfunding campaign for a new bar and aged beer facility in The Jewelry Quarter.

Aiming to open in Spring 2023, Attic Brew Co’s “The Barrel Store” will showcase a method of making beer that is both very traditional and also modern and forward thinking.

“Ageing beer in barrels would have been common practice a century ago, but fell from favour when more efficient brewing techniques were developed. In recent times though, the technique has been popularised again by breweries looking to work with the unique set of flavours that aged beer can provide”

“This dedicated site would allow us to bring these exciting beers back to Birmingham”.

Attic’s Barrel Store will be more than a production space though. You’ll be able to visit the bar for a beer and a bite to eat, enjoying your pint amongst all of the barrels that house the beer that will soon be on the taps. Drinkers will have the chance to try the beers aged onsite, as well as all of Attic’s best loved beers from the main brewery in Stirchley.

Sam Back, another of Attic’s founders, says

“we think The Barrel Store, alongside all the other independent venues in the area, will help create a unique drinking experience for the Jewelry Quarter. We need some help to get it over the line though, which is why we’ve created some amazing rewards for supporters.”

The crowdfunding campaign is certainly offering some exciting options for would be funders. You could name your own barrel, design and brew your own beer with the brewery team, or buy a bar tab that earns you up to 50% extra money to spend behind the bar.

You can take a look at the full list and their campaign video on their website or social media platforms.
