The Birmingham brewing scene

Local breweries across Birmingham

Birmingham's brewing boom is built in Digbeth, where Dig Brew, GlassHouse and Burning Soul filled old industrial units with tanks and taprooms. Across the city, Two Towers and Rock and Roll keep the range broad, and Purity is never far away in the Warwickshire countryside.

The arches make an easy brewery trail, and most of these breweries open their own bar at the weekend. They anchor Birmingham's festivals, so a favourite brewery is a short step to a day out.
