Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Artisan Micro Bar
Artisan. Recently renamed from the Cyder & Cobb, but I guess that things haven't changed too much as the previous branding is still visible on some of the small table-tops, etc. Still has four cask ales on handpump - with Hobsons Pale, Redemption's Pale Ale, The Joy of Sesh from New Bristol (£3.80) and Bang the Elephant's Chocotoff available on my visit.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Cyder & Cobb
This micro was a former shoe shop according to the friendly barmaid on our 11am Saturday visit. This micro has a lot going for it with their excellent beer selection and fantastic condition, plus there was a varied collection of 11 ciders to choose from on our visit. Four ales on handpump Wilde Child Razzle Dazzle, Grey Trees Into The Valley, Small World Brewery Secret and Wye Valley HPA. I went for the Welsh beer Into The Valley, which was superb and only £3.90 a pint.
There was a good selection of bar snacks cobs, pork pies, sausage rolls, curried flavoured pork scratching, crisps etc. Locals were all friendly and chatty.

Lovely little Micro pub - with a few nice surprises.
Everything as you would expect from a converted shop next to a nail bar..... to add some uniqueness, there were several demijohns of 14% ciders - sold in halves - and a cake stand with a variety of pork pies.
That'll do for me - even if I wasnt brave enough to go for the cider :-)
Hop Back Summer lightening in fine condition.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Cyder & Cobb
The Cyder & Cobb sits within the main shopping area in Blackheath. It was easily the best of 3 Black Country micropubs we visited on a Saturday afternoon.
Despite its name, the pub does serve 4 real ales. These were Wye Valley HPA, Dancing Duck Waitangi, Mobberley Brewhouse IPA & Kelham Island Night Shift.
Ciders were Weston's Vintage & Cloudy Vintage, Lilley's Mango Cider, Pineapple Cider, Bee Sting Perry, Cheeky Pig, Somerset Scrumpy Dry, Cherries & Berries & Crazy Goat, along with their own Cyder & Cobb Fruit Salad. The friendly barmaid couldn't tell me who produced the Fruit Salad on their behalf, but I suspect it was simply a mixture of the Cherries & Berries and the Pineapple Cider. But the combination worked quite nicely.
It was also befitting that we tried their cobs, which come as a meal deal with a pint and a pack of crisps!
The interior has bench seating on either side of a central walkway leading to the bar. Being small in size, people were packed in, with most sharing tables. The atmosphere was friendly and lively with a mixture of locals out for an afternoon's (and possibly an evening's) drinking with a few beer tickers.
One of the best new pubs I have visited in the West Midlands for some time. I will return.

Popped in at the weekend for my first visit. Great little place and a welcome addition to Blackheath. 4 ales on - Jaipur, Tribute, Oakham Citra and one from Ludlow brewery. We went for the Jaipur which was excellent. I didn't have time to sample a cob but I will next time! Well worth a visit.
