Local Beers for Local People...

March 13, 2015

Adding to our selection of local beers are new arrivals from Bromsgrove..

Nestled in Old Burcot Lane, Bromsgrove, head brewer Ian Hughes began a 6 barrel micro-brewery back in 2009

Formerly the Landlord of Bromsgrove's Hop Pole and latterly The Ladybird Inn, Ian previously operated his own micro-brewery, 'Red Cross Brewery', from outbuildings at his home

Since then Bird's has been traditionally crafted, matured, and has flown into reputable pubs to spread that rustically local taste.

Audacious  5.0%          £2.20

Black Widow Stout  4.5%          £2.09

Dark and dangerous, Black Widow is a traditional smooth and satisfying Stout. Brewed using Phoenix and Bramling Cross hops, together with Roasted Barley, Black Widow has a roasted malt flavour with a bitter edge and overtones of blackcurrant, raisins and liquorice.
