The Maverick, Stourbridge

Paid a visit to the beer garden under the current Covid rules. All very well organised with efficient service. I tried the Wye Valley Daisy Duke and Malvern Hills Black Pear. Both were in good shape.

Very busy pub with a choice of 4 beers on including Owd Roger, Wainwrights and a festive offering from Holden's - Noddy Holden's. As it is nearly Christmas I went for the Holden's and it was a very good pint. Well worth a visit.

Enjoyed my visit here with the various rooms with Wild west theme to wander round, and the wheel of fortune, plus all the posters too numerous to read. Large drinking area at the rear too. No problem with our chosen Holdens Woodsetton Pale from the 4 on offer.

The interior décor here is unappealing to me, never a great fan of themed pubs. Four ales on hand pump Woods Parish, Malvern Hills, Wychwood Dogs Bollocks and a Bombardier. The ale choice here was different to the other pubs in the area.

An unusual interior ,takes you back to the 1970s themed pubs, but well worth seeing.Wide range of beers in good condition.

A nice old Victorian corner pub with high chimney stacks and corner pediment. It is a Jennings free house. The upper storey is in cream, with yellow surrounds for the sash windows. The lower storey is in yello rustication, with an entrance on either frontage. There are three bay windows and a dog tooth string course. The interior is an open plan room, now that all the internal rooms have been knocked into one more or less. There is a lot of wood panel, some painted coffee and a stone firebreast in the one area. There is a wood floor. The walls have everything American on them, from number plates, flags, Wild West and Native Indian pictures to mirrors, US whiskey adverts and yes, guns! A few cactii are dotted about too. There is a dart board. There is a TV, which had the sport on and the background music was general stuff at a decent level. The service was fine and there was a busy and mixed crowd. Beer; usual tap stuff with Theakston's Best, Ringwood 49er, Cumberland Ale and Elgood Mustang on handpull, the Elgood was well kept. a cracking place - nice beer, but fun to visit just to look around - i will be back.
