Our team, Jon, our Head Brewer, Duke from Sales and Rachel from Marketing, jumped on a train to Birmingham’s Attic Brew Co. to collaborate on a very special summer thirst quencher…
Indie Beer Stalwarts
Attic have recently celebrated their 7th birthday and have firmly established themselves on the Birmingham indie beer scene.
Castle Rock first met Attic’s Ollie and Sam several years ago – the details are sketchy but it was definitely BC (Before Covid) – in a pub in Birmingham. A few pints and plenty of chat later, a lasting friendship leading to the sharing of ideas (and more beers) and lots of collabs.
If You Like Piña Coladas… (bet you can’t resist singing that!)
This time we created Parasol, with Head Brewer Harry and Production Brewer Peter. A tasty tropical sour inspired by one of our favourite cocktails, the Piña Colada. At 5.5%, it’s juicy, tangy and ridiculously refreshing. With juicy pineapple and subtle coconut notes it’ll have you dreaming of beach bars and heatwaves.
Good Beers, Good Company
A few steps from the brewery is Attic’s taproom – here we soaked up the vibes and were joined by Sam’s delightful dogs (we might have had a couple of beers too!), followed by a visit to their brilliant city centre tap The Barrel Store in Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter for pizza (and more beer!). Incredible beers, top-tier hospitality, and plenty of laughs – the perfect reminder of what makes the UK indie scene so special.
Available Here
Parasol is pouring at our pubs and limited edition cans are available in our online shop. It’s also set to join an all-star line-up on our bar at this year’s Nottingham Craft Beer Festival.
Massive thanks to the Attic crew – here’s to the next one!
