BEER MENU

Beowulf began in 1997 as Birmingham’s only independent brewery and has since moved to the shores of Chasewater.

We have been brewing award-winning beer for 25 years now and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

Beowulf was a hero and so are you.

Wulf is Beowulf Breweries flagship pale ale. It headlines the pale ale selection from the brewery and is delightfully quaffable in taste, a true 'easy-drinker'.
