The Shell-ter, Halesowen

Very newly established micro-pub, created from a compact hall-like building with various partitions added for toilets, etc. Six rustic tables, and battleship-grey chairs to match the painted walls. Limited, mostly Second World War-themed decor, but this is probably a work in progress. Three handpumps on the short counter, offering two beers from Wye Valley - HPA and Butty Bach - plus Enville Ale (£3.00) when I visited, but the growing selection of clips suggests a wider sourcing policy.

New micro-pub in Shell Corner.
