White Horse, Birmingham

Excellent Ostler's real ale pub just off the High Street, with a traditional two-room interior and a front patio terrace. You enter the main bar, with further seating at the back, but there is also a compact lounge off to the left. With seven cask beers and a cider from the two banks of four handpumps on the main counter, and another from one of the seven on the bar-back round the corner, the choice was tempting. However, I went for the 'house' Terry's Gold (£3.20), brewed out the back of the kitchen somewhere.

Probably still the best pub in Harborne. Certainly the best ale choice although for some reason I didn't note them on my last visit. I have never had a bad drink in here and I always call in when I am in the area. Well worth a visit.
