Small micropub in Cotteridge that was closed as I went past on the bus slightly earlier in the afternoon. However, returning after 3pm opening, I found the pub open and I was the first customer of the afternoon. However, I was soon joined by another group of blokes who had arrived from Edgbaston cricket club having seen rain stopping play after one ball bowled! All of us were sat downstairs, but there is further seating space upstairs.

I've been looking forward to visiting this place, but was a little disappointed to find just one solitary real ale. This was Birmingham Single Brummie Citra IPA. There are however 2 ciders and a perry from Hogan's - Harvest Press, Panking Pole & Lonely Partridge. Craft beers are Infinity Fleu Du Jour & Momentum, Birmingham/Always Balling Iron Brew Sour, Attic Eclipse & Black Iris Endless Summer.

Music was playing, which I'm not too keen on in a micropub. Dogs are welcome. In fact, there was a noticeable smell of dogs as I walked in. My Single Brummie Citra was enjoyable, but I'm not sure this pub justifies the trip out from Birmingham city centre.

Good Beer Guide 2023 Micro Pub. Classic, small downstairs with mismatched furniture. Stairs leading to (hopefully) the loo and more seating. Bar at far end constructed from scaffold.

Just the one cask on during my visit but I think more were being pulled through. Plenty of keg. No health and safety namby pamby here. Delirium Red for £6.70 a pint.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Redbeer'd

Slightly split-level micro-pub in a narrow shop unit with just two tables in the lower part and a couple of large wooden casks with tall stools up by the narrow counter. However, there is also another room with more seating upstairs. Local real ales feature on the pair of handpumps, although only Elephant Riders from Fownes (£4.20) on at the time of my visit as the other line was being changed over. Diverse selection of craft beers available from eight keg taps on the bar-back, including the regular 8% Delirium Red. Overall, I enjoyed my brief visit, talking to the friendly chap behind the bar.
