The Whippet Inn, Lichfield

This is more like a traditional micropub. A fairly plain single room with limited seating. Again friendly service and excellent beer quality. I would call in any time I am in the area.

One of a pair of adjacent Good Beer Guide micro-pubs, with this one being a single-storey structure at the end of the main terrace of shops and other business premises on the north side of the street. Wedge-shaped layout, but unusually wider by the front corner entrance and tapering towards the back. Limited seating around a total of eight small tables and a compact counter with a bank of six handpumps. Five of these were in use, offering beers from Tiny Rebel, Black Iris and two from Hippy Killer - States of Micronesia and Natty Dread milk stout (£3.00) - plus a cider. Overall, despite the beer quality, I didn't find the atmosphere quite as welcoming as the Beerbohm next door.

Must be the answer to the question "where are the two closest Good Beer Guide 20189 Entries?" This is a micropub. There is a sign that says "Small House, Big Welcome" and this sums the place up. As you'd expect, the beer was excellent. I went for a Miner's Best Bitter. Never seen before but super condition. Micropubs aren't really my cup of tea though. All a bit brightly lit for me and a bit like drinking in a shop. Visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2xqqFQj

This micropub which dates from the 1st of April 2014 has the added bonus for me that it's named after the pub in the smutty old film Carry On At Your Convenience. Based in a former clothes shop it's not very large but isn't so small that it becomes uncomfortable. It's rectangular with a small bar at the back and behind that the "cellar" is behind some glass doors and finally the two conveniences. There is an old Holt Plant & Deakin mirror on one wall. The bar has six hand pumps with two unusual looking ciders and the four beers were Dark Star Hophead, Ludlow Gold, a Crafty Pale and Merry Miner's Coal Face Porter. I'm not sure where the Crafty one was from. I went for the Coal Face Porter (£2.80) which was excellent and could have been cheaper if I had remembered the CAMRA discount. Another good micropub.

Very popular micro pub with excellent beer. A bit tight for space of course but a nice atmosphere

Mr Phat got in there before me. As described by him though the beers were Shiny Enterprise, Shiny Pail Minstrella, Celt Dark Age, XT Fresh Hop plus 2 ciders.
