| Its just had a brilliant beer festival, the place was absolutely rammed all the time. Thanks to everyone behind the bar, kitchen and cellar, you were great. What a shame the Thornbridge ales were in small casks, I suppose it gave the other very fine ales a chance. quaffed - 6 Feb 2012 17:14 |
| This is a cracking little pub, it has reverted back to its original name the 'New Inns' aka 'The Pretty Bricks'. 8 handpulls are all charged with good beer and a pleasant place to be in, both customers, bar staff and landlady. I already have made this a regular haunt, you can only thank them for not letting this one die. quaffed - 16 Nov 2011 13:49 |
| Bobbed in last Saturday evening about 6.30. About 10 people in of a certain age, 8 beers in[seems ambitious?] including, in the lounge, 3 Black Country beers and 1 from Backyard. Beer good, decor sympathetic if unoriginal, warm welcome. Not sure about the background music. I wish them all the best given the apparent ups and downs recently.Certainly it's the best of the pubs in the vicinity [and there are several...] ThePitch - 14 Nov 2011 21:04 |

| Well it's been a while and a lot of ups and downs for this great pub but at last the "bricks" is back to being the great back street real ale pub it always was. The new landlord is friendly, welcoming and keeps a good pint. There are usually 5 or 6 cask ales on including Highgate Dark Mild, Teltleys Cask and Green King IPA with several guest ales. A great pub getting back to its best. BlueRobin - 14 Mar 2010 18:39 |
