The Wellington, Birmingham

A unique real ale drinkers Paradise (fools tolerated)

I make a 90 mile round trip to the Wellington most weekends, and have to say that I have never felt the lack of a pint of Stella to be a bar to my enjoyment. The Welly offers 15 real ales, most of which rotate on an almost twice daily basis, 3 real ciders, and a tremendous selection of bottled products. Three specialist lagers and a Weissbeer are also available for the discerning keg drinker. I have never tasted a bad pint in the Wellington, despite having quaffed many. The staff and customers are superb, and the atmosphere is second to none. However there is a downside. It is impossible to visit the Welly for just one pint!
