Brightsmith On The Water, Birmingham

I was going to write this off as a hotel bar / restaurant that shouldn't really be listed on the site, but research suggested that three local craft keg beers from Silhill might be available. Fortunately, once getting through the maze of corridors, this proved to be the case, with the Blonde triple hopped pale ale, Helles lager and North hopped porter (very expensive at £7.30, but enjoyable) amongst the offerings from the pair of hooped founts. There is also a terrace seating area beyond the dining tables that overlooks the Pendigo Lake which might be a fine spot, but was a bit late to explore that when I gave the place a go.
