Aqualung . left this review about The Queens Head
I had vaguely noticed that Black Country Ales had opened a pub in Stourbridge but hadn't realised that it was only a short distance from the Batham's Royal Exchange. It made it an obvious target when I came here for the annual Batham's XXX chase.
I got here around midday and it opened just as I finished taking pictures.
The friendly landlady told me that it was formerly known as the Queensbury. It's been well refurbished by the new owners and consists of an L shaped room with a wooden floor to the right and carpeted to the left. There is a dart board and TV (silent) to the right.
The twelve hand pumps had a couple of ciders, the three regular BCA ales and seven from just about anywhere. I went for Clouded Minds Luppol (£3.20), Intrepid Odin (£3.60) and Bluestone Hammerstone IPA (£3.30) all of which were first class. I liked this one a lot and would definitely return. It gets a strong 9.

Now owned by Black Country Ales, the main room is warm and comfortable, carpeted one end and had two good log fires on the go. The bar is opposite on entering, twelve handpumps in a line with all the beers listed on a monitor above the bar back. Saturday offered Pig on the Wall plus BFG from Black Country, Broadoak Rum and Raisin (cider), Newbridge Solaris, Fixed Wheel Start Gun Stout, Driftwood Spars Blue Hills, Fixed Wheel Golden Bicycle, Exit 33 Mad Skills, Britt Brewery Brew Britannia and Bespoke Brewing Money Old Rope. one unclipped. None of these were vaguely familiar to any of our group so we dived in with lucky dips and all four chosen were spot on.
Regular seating at benches and standard chairs, pleasant background music, much from the 70s, this is the sort of place you could get very settled in for a good session.
There is outdoor seating to the rear side, not on this occasion as it was 2C outside and sleeting, beyond to the rear is a long narrow building available for hire either as a function room or a skittle alley.
The pub looks to be a community hub too and runs darts, crib and dominoes teams. The dartboard was busy on Saturday afternoon. We enjoyed our stay here, another great Stourbridge pub.

Recently acquired and refurbished by Black Country Ales, the interior now seems very welcoming. Layout not changed from the previous descriptions, you are faced with twelve handpulls as you walk in, with a screen above the till showing what's on each pull along with a brief description, strength and price. Only a few in when I visited, had a pint of Fireside which tasted nice, if a bit flat towards the end.
Worth a visit if you're in the area.
