A saturday afternoon (and evening!) social outing with members of the BBC finds us first at the recently opened Malt in Lichfield. Decide to concentrate of the ABC beers as I don't get chance to try them round my neck of the woods. Rotunda Red (4.8%) is first with its subtle toffee aftertaste. A less strong Dizzy Blonde (4.4%) next. Luke was raving about one of the guests so Beartown Peach Melbear follows and to finsish the strong 6% Aston Distressway was consumed just in time to move on.
We considered visiting the Lloyds Bar and sent Paul in to research the beers (or lack there of) and so ended up instead at the QueensHead and Timothy Taylor Landlord.
One of the most improved pubs in recent years next. The Horse and Jockey used to be run down but no longer so and some excelent ales on offer including Enville Ale and Blythe's Bagot's Bitter (nice one Robert!)
Round the corner to the Kingshead which had Ringwood Showman's Tipple on.
time for some culture and a chance to visit the Captain Smith staute in the park and a review of the cathedral and Minster pool before a rest stop at the Earl of Lichfield (aka The Drum.) Marston's Bitter here (they also had the Ringwood beer as above.)
Acorn next for Shenstone's Evo followed by come tastry fish and chips on Greenhill (not been here for years, certainly the internet had not been heard of back then.)
Final port of call was the Duke of York for Bryson's Hurricane Bitter and a Trashy Blonde from Brewdog.
