Soon will be two BCAs in town. This is in the GBG 2025.

Follows the blueprint to the letter. Traditional. Cobs. Pub Games. Superb roaring log fire, which I was luck enough to sit next to. Unusual guest ales, where I had a short measure. Would have gone back for a top up, but too damn comfy by the fire.

I agree with Blue Scrumpy below, this is certainly a good pub. One of the best BCA pubs we have visited. It ticked all the boxes both beer wise and atmosphere, so we spent some time in here going through the beer board as the the range of guest beers and quality were exceptional. The landlady was also welcoming and friendly, a lot of happy faces in here including my own.

Black Country Ales pub that is certainly the best pub I have visited in Shifnal to date.

Unlike the Plough, all handpulls here were clipped. Beers are listed on TV screens, as I believe is the case for all BCA pubs.

The selection on our Saturday afternoon visit had the regulars from BCA - BFG, Fireside & Pig on the Wall, along with 6 guests - Thwaites Wainwright, Fixed Wheel Mr 60%, Newby Wyke White Sea, Bateman's St George's Glory, Coach House St George & Oakham Session Stout.

Two real ciders were Lilley's Raspberry Mojito & Weston's Rosie's Pig Rhubarb Cider. A craft beer listed was Goose Island Today's Haze.

The busiest pub we'd visited at this point of the day, it certainly seems to have a good local following.
