The Beacon, Lichfield

Huge Titanic House, with all their range on and some guests. I went for the White Star, which was in reasonable condition. Nice inside, with some views out onto the shopping street. A not very attractive patio to the rear.

Almost certainly an improvement here (because I was never motivated to visit previously, despite the Brewers' Tudor facade) as this is now a Titanic outlet. Anyway, it now has an attractive alehouse-style, reversed J-shaped arrangement. Six cask ales from the owning brewery, plus Backyard Blonde (£3.70) and Warwickshire's Lady Godiva, from eight handpumps on the main counter, together with a couple of ciders from another pair on the right-hand side.
