| This pub is the local CAMRA pub of the year for 2008. I’ve been here a few times before and I think that this time I’ve just been unlucky. It’s a fine old pub in a pretty derelict part of Birmingham with an interesting layout across several rooms and lots of original features. When I walked in I was disappointed to find that only four of the handpumps were in use, every other time I’ve been in they’ve had at least 7 or 8 on. The blonde streaked barmaid was reading a magazine and even though she had obviously seen me, she didn’t bother to put her magazine down and carried on reading until a few strategic coughs and an excuse me eventually got her to move her backside. I had a pint of the Hill Climb from Prescott brewery which really wasn’t very good. It wasn’t poor enough to take back but I wasn’t really happy with it. I hadn’t had anything by Prescott before so it might just have been a poor beer and not the pubs fault. I’m not impressed this time, but as I have been in the past, I’ll give it another chance next time I’m around here. ROBCamra - 10 Jun 2009 15:09 |
| Missed the May Festival due to illness, probably the saddest time of my life, 65 ales on and I missed them, WOE Alas. I did manage to get a drop of the Tea Kettle Stout from Hertfordshires Tring Brewery @ 4.7abv Wonderful drop of black gold. Worth a try even if you are not a Stout person, far superior to that horrible Guiness sludge! H tcvarlh - 4 Jun 2009 15:55 |

| Visited the Anchor Inn recently (19/05/2009) and found it to be a really friendly place with some interesting people. The pub itself is a lovely place - nice separate rooms not one big wide open drinking den like many pubs. Staff were attentive even offering me tastes of the beers without any prompting - great service. A nice range of beers including milds. Sadly I only had about 30 minutes in there before I had to run for a train. Think I will be back though. Tonymuseum - 25 May 2009 20:30 |
| Yorkshire beer week, and between our group, all available offerings were sampled, and all were excellent. It is hard to fault this pub, very friendly service, great atmosphere (visiting football fans welcomed), excellent beer. I have been there on a few occasions, and found the beer to be of a consistently high quality. Dylanwing - 7 Mar 2009 22:04 |
