Christmas in Birmingham has its own special magic, The Frankfurt Christmas Market, the lights in Victoria Square, the craft market, the bustle of last-minute shoppers, and that unmistakable Midlands warmth.
But if you really want to add a local flourish to your festivities this year, look no further than The Birmingham Brewing Company
Based in Stirchley, this proudly independent brewery has become a firm favourite in homes across the city — including ours. In fact, as I sit writing this, my wife and I are enjoying their excellent Brummie Stout. And let me tell you: it’s not just festive… it’s properly festive. Deep, rich, smooth, and perfect for a winter’s evening.
And as a stout Brummie myself, I can confirm it goes down an absolute treat.
Why Birmingham Brewing Company Belongs in Your Christmas Line-Up
With Christmas dinners, Boxing Day buffets, cheese boards, family gatherings, and quiet nights in front of the fire, December is a month full of occasions that call for great drinks. What makes Birmingham Brewing Co’s beers such a good fit?
They’re brewed with quality British ingredients
They’re gluten-free, so more guests can enjoy them
They’re consistently delicious, without relying on gimmicks
They pair superbly with festive food
This is proper Brummie craftsmanship — and it really shows.
Festive Beer Pairings: Brummie Style
Here’s how their range shines at Christmastime:
Pale Brummie — Perfect for Party Nibbles
Light, refreshing, and ideal when you’re laying out sausage rolls, crisps, dips, and those mysterious “selection box” platters that appear every December.
Gold Brummie — A Star for the Cheese Board
Its brightness cuts through cheddar, Red Leicester, and even a stronger blue. A cracking Boxing Day companion.
Bitter Brummie — The Christmas Dinner Pint
Malty and smooth, it pairs beautifully with turkey, roasties, gravy, and the works.
Stout Brummie — Your Christmas Evening Sipper
This is where the magic happens. Deep, velvety, and warming, it’s ideal after dinner, with mince pies, or while watching the Christmas TV specials.

A Trip to the Stirchley Taproom This December
If you want to make a day of it, visiting their taproom in the run-up to Christmas is a joy. Expect:
Fresh draught beer mere metres from where it’s brewed
Festive food pop-ups
A cracking, friendly Brummie atmosphere
A great place to pick up last-minute gifts
Lovely cans that look smart in a stocking or under the tree
If you’re stuck for presents, a mixed case of local beer is a far better idea than novelty socks.
Gift Ideas for Beer Lovers
Mixed case of Brummie beers
A taproom gift voucher
A craft beer hamper with chutneys, cheeses, and cans from the brewery
A few Stout Brummies tucked into a stocking
It’s supporting a local business while giving people something they’ll actually enjoy.
A Brummie Cheers to Christmas
With their excellent beers, community spirit, and commitment to quality, The Birmingham Brewing Company adds something special to a Birmingham Christmas. Whether you're hosting, gifting, or simply curling up with a pint after a long day of shopping, their beers deliver proper festive cheer.
And if you happen to be a stout Brummie yourself — well, consider that an extra reason to raise a glass.
And as we Brummies say, "Mind the 'os road, our kid!"
