Excellent addition to the local scene, glad to see the superb worldwide bottled range doesn’t detract from the local cask offerrings.

This subterranean drinking establishment has become a firm favourite in a very short time. Only opened in Dec 11 it has already set the bar for Craft beer drinking in Birmingham. The foreign beer bottle list is unsurpassed in the on-trade, hopefully the first of many in Brum.

Great choice in beers. We had the Goose Island Bourbon Vanilla Stout here. Lovely place to have a decent beer

Nice underground bar, very small. Would imagine it gets very packed on the weekend. Knowledgeable staff and a fantastic selection of bottles. Just a little expensive, though.

This is a relatively new pub in Birmingham, having opened in mid December 2011. It is now a favourite of mine when I visit Birmingham city centre. The pub has seven beers on hand pull, 13 ciders, 200 foreign bottled beers (ask for the beer menu). The staff are always very friendly & will help you choose a style of beer if you tell them your taste. The landlord (Perks) is passionate about his beers & this shows. The only downside would be the size of the pub. It gets very, very full at weekends. The plus to that of course is it just shows how popular it is & how well kept the beers are. Well worth a visit.

A fantastic pub with by far the greatest range of bottled beer in Birmingham. What impressed me the most was the landlord he was so knowledgeable about the beers he sells that that I was truely educated by visiting the place, he wasn’t about just making money- If he thought a beer was bad he told me and recommended a better one. Why can’t all publicans be like this? 153 beers the last time I visited and I was told the target was 200 (which he then had a smirk smile and whispered 250+ but we’ll see). Visit this pub!

New venture from the team behind the Wellington. Big Belgian bottled selection, which is one of the gaps correctly identified in Brum. 8 cask offerings including a Salopian and Hobsons Mild. I have faith that the cask selections will be of a high standard, but equally, I know that they will not be moving into keg craft offerings. A small venue, but well located and it is great to have a consistent city centre supply of standard beers like Orval and Westmalle. Let’s see how it goes.

New bar in the centre of the city, near Victoria Square. It is a cellar bar, the New Street entrance is a little tricky to spot. Specialises in foreign bottled beers, particularly American, this is proving to be a good move as it seems to be popular. There are 8 cask hand pulls, time will tell how many of these will be rotating. No food is served but you are free to bring along your own. Seems to be a midway point between a Craft beer supplier and Real Ale house. It really is worth taking a look and close enough to the Welly, where there is a slight link, to be able to combine the two. I was really impressed hence the mark, but will review again later.
