The Brasshouse, Birmingham

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Brasshouse

Situated along the lively Broad Street and alongside the canal network, the Brasshouse is another pub that I haven't been to since 2012. Advertised as open until midnight, they were cleaning up when we arrived, but still served us as it was well before midnight. However, unlike the Prince of Wales where we had just been, service here felt a bit more rushed and staff were eager to get us to drink up and out of the door.

The real ale range has improved since I was last here, with a choice of 6 on. These were Wolfpack Second Row, Purity Bunny Hop, Thornbridge/Timothy Taylor Artesian, Silhill Blonde Star, Sharp's Doom Bar & Green Duck The Storm. Craft beers were Beavertown Neck Oil, Purity Longhorn, Tiny Rebel Easy Livin' & Thornbridge Rock City IPA. I'm not sure this is the sort of location where 6 ales could be kept in a decent condition, as Broad Street is otherwise pretty much the place where you go to party and drink yourselves silly on cocktails, spirits and fizzy lagers. However, all credit to them for dispensing real ales. The ones we had were certainly drinkable, but not the best I've ever had.

Certainly an improvement on what it was.
