Green Man, Birmingham

Visited back in June. Only four cask ales on these days - at the time of my visit these were Mad Goose, Ghost Ship, Landlord and Doom Bar. There is a dog friendly area, a beer garden to the rear, a car park, and food is served. Not much to rush back for but pleased to visit it again as it has been quite a few years since I visited.

Still a good selection of ales on. The pale ale was fine. Camra discount too!

A large Ember Inns pub. Open plan inside and due to its size there are plenty of areas to sit. 11 handpumps in total on the bar with a bank of 8 and a bank of 3. There were 7 ales on offer today with beers from Brains, Cotleigh and Purity amongst others. If you know Ember Inns pubs you'll know what to expect. A beer patio is to the rear, as is a car park.

Located at the east end of Harborne High Street, this is a substantial 1930s food-led pub with a variety of seating areas around the 'L'-shaped bar counter. Mixture of modern dining tables, with decor mostly in pastel shades and anonymous background music. Standard Ember Inns menu. Surprisingly, it had a good selection of eight real ales from a total of 11 handpumps, including standard offerings like Brakspear, Pride and Landlord plus some less-common beers such as Bateman's Silver Hare (£3.00).
