Birmingham Brewing Company Tap Room, Birmingham

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Birmingham Brewing Company Tap Room

Sat on what seemed like a fairly desolate industrial estate on a Friday evening visit, the tap room for Birmingham Brewing Company is quite a large affair with plenty of seating, both inside and out.

Once inside, it's not exactly easy to find the bar. Turn a few corners and you will eventually find it, unless you take a turn and end up at the toilets or in the brewery itself.

We arrived to find all of the pumpclips for the cask beers turned around. Apparently, they were having problems with the cask for some reason. That still left us with an extensive keg selection of Birmingham Brewing Company Gold Brummie, Pale Brummie, Stout Brummie, Bitter Brummie, Hazy Brummie, Single Brummie - Elani, B30 Project Lemongrass Pale, Single Brummie - Nelson Sauvin & Kiwi Brummie & a collaboration between Birmingham Brewing Company and Always Balling called Iron Brew Sour.

Unlike the Fixed Wheel Brewery Tap where we had been earlier, the taproom was quite warm and was fairly lively with a fairly young and trendy crowd. As we sat there, a band arrived and started to set up equipment in one corner near the bar. The cask beers also came back on (unlucky for me, as I'd already ordered a cold keg beer). This was Bitter Brummie, Pale Brummie & Single Brummie - Elani.

Whilst the location did seem a bit unwelcoming, it's actually not too far from other breweries (such as Attic Brew Co), a few up and coming bars (e.g. Wildcat) and some more traditional pubs (I'm thinking the British Oak), which makes Stirchley a good place for a pub/bar/brewery crawl.
