Craft Inn, Sutton Coldfield

A Sommar brewery outlet from central Birmingham. Ten craft beers on tap, dispensed from behind the bar with a very handy screen displaying all the beers and pricing. I went for a half of the Sommar Brew Guava Nice Day Bab, a Milkshake IPA. I did enjoy this type of beer and found it quite interesting.

Well described below. I had looked forward to visiting after enjoying the other Craft Inn located in Shirley. A good choice of interesting beers including a few from the Left Handed Giant brewery. We tried the Years Gone By and Vivid Dreaming. Both were excellent. Very friendly service. Well worth a visit.

New(ish) craft beer bar of micro-pub proportions and appearance, with beer-barrel stools around the three lower tables. Also has a couple higher tables and some tall bar stools by the front window ledge. Ten taps at the back of the compact counter, dispensing interesting but expensive brews in a wide range of styles and strengths (e.g. Glasshouse Pontiac Bandit, £5.85).

Have been in to try this a few times. Nice friendly staff and clientele. Very expensive however, but its a nice addition to the range of pubs in Sutton. Sells bottles and draft. Only drawback is that its small, which is ok for a micropub, but the size, combined with the shape of the room, makes the bar difficult to access when its busy. Which it is on the Fridays that I have been in.
