Mark 1 - with thanks to Stephen H, a visit to Birmingham, and looking forward to Kieran's 'Mark 2'...
The Trocadero, Temple Street, Birmingham.
Having arrived in Birmingham at just after 12 noon, for the West Brom match we set off to find a decent pub and were not dissapointed. Our first stop was 'The Hill' in Bennetts Hill, just off New Street, where we started off by having a pint of Sharps Doom Bar but moved quickly onto a pint of Mad Goose 4.2% by the Purity Brewing Company. Mad Goose was new to me and I found it to be a pleasant light but very flavourable beer. We then moved onto the 'Trocadero' in Temple Street where I sampled a pint of Marstons EPA at 3.6% again a light ale but very tasty but my favourite of the day was a pint of Old Leg Over brewed by Daleside of Harrowgate, which at 4.1% proved to be the best of the day.
Matt at the Square Peg... From the Trocadero, we moved onto to join up with some of the R'sss fans who had set up base camp at the Weatherspoons, 'Square Peg' in Corporation Hill, a bit of a mistake as it was packed with QPR and Bristol City fans but we managed to get a pint of Abbot Ale but that was about as good as it got.
Cheers Steve!
