Wetherspoon, Birmingham

Standard airport bar with Wetherspoons branding. This place is rammed every day with passages and the queue consisted of about 20 people in front of me, obviously seating is a privilege too. Prices are astronomical as airports usually are and the Wetherspoons branding means nothing here and is as expensive as any other similar establishment. There were a couple of hand pills on the bar with mainly nationals but one or two local guests that ran out when i was at the bar and are priced "From £3.65". The Doombar was £3.95 and the London Pride a disgraceful £4.45 but about what you would expect in an airport but was actually kept in a decent way but I only had one at that price. With little all else to go to except a few fancy looking bars that no doubt will absolutely fleece you this is about your only option and it serves its purpose i suppose.

Basically a lounge in the airport for passengers flying (its passed security etc) where you can get food & drink. The real ale is limited and of poor quality.

Busy on my early morning pre-flight visit , mostly with people eating breakfasts , normal JDW ale selection with only one guest which was 6% so a bit strong for a 4am pint , so i had Guiness for breakfast .

This pub is for airline passengers only.

Thought I might see at least one local ale on the bar. Sadly not to be, I did try the London Pride which I have to say was in good nick.

It's a 'Spoons in an airport so there's not a huge amount more to say other than the beers on when I passed through were: Adnams Broadside, Pride, GK IPA, Abbot and Marstons Old Empire IPA. Now that's not a hugely exciting range but it's a lot better than used to be available in an airport in the not too distant past. It was a touch early for me to wade in so I can't comment on how the beer's kept but it's a 'Spoons so there are no guarantees. I'd slide in for a pint if passing at a sensible time of day.
