Blue Scrumpy left this review about North Taproom: Snow Hill
This is an interesting addition to the Birmingham drinking scene. I've been to the North Brewing Taproom in Leeds before and this bar seemed like an identikit version of that one.
The glass-fronted bar looks out over the tramway, with some undercover outdoor seating also at the front. Inside, the only difference to the Leeds branch is that the bar is on the left-hand side. All beers are keg (although WhatPub suggests they offer cask at weekends), dispensed from taps on the back wall. A beer list is projected onto the wall. The list comprised North Telstar, Pinata, Full Fathom 5, Transmission & New Alphabet, North/MKI Yuzu Pale Ale, North/Craft Beer Channel Double Triple Fruited Gose & Frontaal Push The Button. I opted for a third of the 10% New Alphabet, which was a very enjoyable imperial stout.
The seating arrangement feels like a Wagamama's with bench-type seating. There's even an open kitchen in the far right corner service some kind of oriental proposition, which seemed to be appealing to the lunch crowd.
I enjoyed my visit to this branch more than the Leeds one, but I think that was more about timing than anything else.

A modern craft keg bar in a new development close to the main entrance to Snow Hill station. There is exterior seating protected by the building overhang,while inside the bar runs the full length of the left side,the rest of the space has either drinking shelves or high tables with modern metal furniture.There is a seperate open kitchen operated by Little Bao Boy offering asian small dishes and monthly larger dish specials.
The 22 taps are not all for beer,some offer wine,cocktails and sparkling cider but there will be around 14 beers with a variety of styles,IPA's,Pilsners,Sours,Porter etc ,mainly from North Brewing but also including on my trip three guests chosen by North from brewers they respect and often brew in collaberation with.
No real ale,but a wide choice of keg,generally priced by the schooner.My North Full Fathom 5 ,a coffee and coconut porter was enjoyable and £5 for a schooner.
I would pop in again to give something exotic a go ,but maybe not base myself here for a session.It serves it's purpose well and is worth including on a crawl.

Real Ale Ray left this review about North Taproom: Snow Hill
If you're into your craft beers, then this is an excellent bar to visit. The beer board displayed behind the bar was very clear and concise. There was 17 craft beers to choose from on our visit, two of which were interesting sours. Also included was one cider and a choice of six wines. There was no ale on our visit.
The interior was very streamline and minimalist, which I quite liked especially the bar area. They also have a small in house kitchen supplying various Asian cuisine, which was reasonably priced. My beer was excellent, especially the Leviathan from Sutton Coldfield. The barman was friendly and chatty and he didn't mind offering a few beer samples out to me.
