BOLDbeer, Sutton Coldfield

Micro-pub / craft beer bar / bottle shop with a light modern interior but limited seating and a standing shelf opposite the compact counter. An interesting selection of nine keg beers in a variety of styles was available from the taps on the bar-back. However, less obviously, one of these is a cask line, offering a fine 'It Ent Terry's' chocolate orange porter from Davenport's (£3.50).

Decent little place with a good choice of beers. When I called there were 2 real ales - Northern Monk Eternal IPA and Darkstar Hophead. Also had Wild Horse Tramcar IPA, Vibrant Forest Black Forest porter, Siren Yulu pale, BBNO's 11 IPA, Wylam Chasing Mirrors IPA and Northern Monk Golden Whale along with a lager and a cider on tap. I went for the Northern Monk Eternal IPA and Siren Yulu. Both were excellent. I will call again.
