Regular monthly outing with DP deciding that Sutton Coldfield was worth another visit. Meeting the others at Sutton station we headed off for our first port of call, The Duke. We had time for a couple here so I went first for Theakstons Lightfoot (a regular beer they produce named after a brewery they acquired) and then Youngs Bitter. Foer some reason we talked about Dacia cars - wonder if TH will be getting one later this year?
From here we headed to the Bottle of Sack - the choice was limited meaning Courage Directors was chosen.
Back towards the station and three pubs in the area next, firstly The Royal which at the time we were there was very guiet, only us and a band getting ready for their performance later that evening which proably would mean the place would get busier later. We joked that just as they struck up the first proper note we would leave (actually we left well before then!) We admired the range of LP covered that were framed on the wall, everything from Sex Pistols to Michael Jackson it appeared. The move to CD a few myears ago was more convenient in terms of carrying them home from the shops no doubt but to do lose something in terms or art. Marstons EPA was my choice here.
The busier Red Lion next and a good range of Thwaites beers available here - my choice being Lacaster Bomber.
Finally the Station and my last drink of the evening - Holdens Golden Glow.
