A warm February evening finds me heading to Birmingham to join the others at the Windsor. As the beer choice wasn't really that inspiring I started on Weston's Scrumpy. After that we headed off to New street and thecne the train down to Worcester Foregate St. and thence the short stroll into Lowesmoor to find the Firefly - a venue I'd suggested as it had come runner up in a recent pub of the year for the local branch of CAMRA.
We got to the end of the street and after scratching our heads wondering where the pub was someone looked upwards and noticed it was just over the road albeit not well signed. There is a good range of bottled ales including (for future reference some from America) but I went for Sadler's Jack's Pale Ale.
Next port of call was the Swan with 2 Nicks where is was happy hour. I sampled Hobsons Town Crier.
We then looked for another good venue and ended up outside the Cardinals Hat which I had noted previously. This sells Austrian beers in 1/3, 1/2 and 1l sized glasses. I went for the Heinfelder Export.
On the Plough (which won the pub of the year mentioned above. a good choice of beers here and I went for Pardoe's Rowley Rag.
Farrier's Arms next where the choice wasn't as good but the Fuller's London Pride was in good form.
Final post of call was a Wetherspoon (the Crown Passage) and Titanic Full Steam Ahead.
