Typical BCA pub with a good selection of beers on. The usual 3 house beers plus Teignmouth Portside, Tea, Sea Fury and Millstone Stout. I went for the Portside which was fine. All in all a decent pub.

A Black Country Ales pub with a plethora of hand pumps on the bar. There were two banks of four with BCA beers doubled, then another eight with five cask beers and three ciders. This is a large corner building - the room I was in seemed to be the only one open in the afternoon, and had booths along the side split up by glazed screens, with a large open space near the bar with high tables and chairs. Loud music was playing - I wonder if it gets busy on weekend evenings. My beer, Flipside Dusty Penny, a 5% porter, was fine (NBSS 3.5) - I wish I could say the same about the toilets. The gents are downstairs, and the stench came up to meet me as I opened the door to descend. Looking on the bright side, it's unlikely I'll ever be doing that again.

I hadn't been into the Court House for over 6 years. So I paid a return visit between Christmas and new year, wondering why it hasn't appeared in the Good Beer Guide since 2016. After my visit, I'm still wondering, as the selection of ales and ciders here remains the best in Dudley.

As a Black Country Ales pub, it regularly serves BFG, Pig on the Wall & Fireside. 7 guest beers were on for our visit. These were Coach House Christmas Stocking, Titanic Raspberry Pale, Backyard Kris Kringle, Three Tuns Solstice, Beartown Claws, Pennine Christmas Cranberry Stout & AJ's Stuck Up the Chimney.

In addition, there were 5 real ciders - Lilley's Apples & Pears, Gwynt y Ddraig Happy Daze & Sleigh Ride, Thistly Cross Whisky Cask & Weston's Rosie's Pig Raspberry & Cucumber. All beers and ciders are listed on TV screens, along with their style, ABV and price.

The interior is fairly characterless. If you've been to their flagship outlet, the Wellington in Birmingham, you'll know what to expect. Although, aside from the large main room, there is a small snug to the right of the entrance, which I've never managed to set foot in.

The real strength of the Court House is its ale and cider range. Hopefully I won't leave it another 6 years before visiting again.
