A random joker as it wasn’t on the list but on walking past I spotted the Black Country Ales livery. A classic BCA place inside with their usual decor. Buzzy atmosphere. Of unusual note is the brick vaulted room in the cellar. Usual gamble with the over-extended beer range, my Titanic Iceberg was a bit pump tired but fine for a swift chug (NBSS 2.5). Apparently named after its resident ghost.

Decided to pop in as they had the pub of the year award. Tried two different beers, both were fairly warm and were flat before I'd got half way down them. Not impressed!

My first visit (albeit Covid rules) since the takeover. As I passed through the bar I saw about 6 or 7 beers on but my eye was drawn to Blue Monkey Infinity which was excellent. I will call again when restrictions are lifted.
