Seven Stars, Stourbridge

A BCA pub (taken on by them in 2019) and the first of many sampled that weekend. Consists of two long rooms either side of the servery with another one off-left (lounge, bar and snug). There’s an impressive dark wood bar back, quarter length wall tiling and etched windows, enough to get it into the CAMRA Inventory. 13 cask on the go which is a bit ambitious and sadly my BCA Chain was a bit warm, lacking throughput (NBSS 2.5). It’s GBG’23 listed which I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by given the nearby Bird’s absence. It's well-worth a visit, though a cask gamble. 7.5

Another cracking pub from BCA. A great election of beers on including Bewdley brewery Worcestershire Way, Mallinsons Archer, Beat brewery Metalhead, Blue monkey BG Sips, Lords Speed check, New Brew IPA, Wye Valley Butty Bach plus 4 BCA beers. The few we tried were excellent and the cobs were great too. I agree with Ray - A must do!
