Another set up post to bring my pub free photos together. You left me in Wylde Green. Not exactly wylde but bewyldered at my options for the rest of the night. Let’s ask Mr Basic Brum Boozer. OK @Britainbeermat I'm having an expensive night out in Bordesley. Which boozer I might not know should I… Continue reading DIGBETH DECISIONS

BREAKFAST IN BRUMINGHAM
Because this blog is my diary and doesn’t pretend to be about beer, I can write about what I like as long as I don’t upset Mrs RM. Even breakfasts, which come thick and fast at the moment. This is the Miners Benedict in Dudley, possibly the best thing Spoons have ever done. Paul Bailey… Continue reading BREAKFAST IN BRUMINGHAM
“WHAT’S BIRMINGHAM FAMOUS FOR ?” ASKS JULIA JACKLIN
Day 3 of my 4 day Midlands tickathon ended in east Birmingham, with a gig, a pub and a Chinese takeaway. I know how to live. Cheapest room was in the Ibis Budget, that probably wanted more to park than to stay, so I dumped my Aygo in industrial Balsall Heath and walked. Just… Continue reading “WHAT’S BIRMINGHAM FAMOUS FOR ?” ASKS JULIA JACKLIN
RUIN(ED) IN A DAY – THE NEW ORDER IN BRUM
All good things must come to an end, and so it is that I say goodbye to my Aston Villa supporting followers after that last post. Bye Steve. Digbeth ended with a newbie recommended by Beer Mat, and an old classic. Don’t judge the Ruin by its plush outdoor seating. This was another favourite on… Continue reading RUIN(ED) IN A DAY – THE NEW ORDER IN BRUM
KEEP RIGHT ON TO THE END OF THE ROAD (WELL, DERITEND)
I’d best finish this Digbeth crawl report quickly now, lest my memory fails me completely and I start claiming we saw Pub Curmudgeon drinking craft or something else libellous. Good job I also have Peter Allen’s report to corroborate the detail. We left the Anchor on time, a rarity on these highly choreographed events.… Continue reading KEEP RIGHT ON TO THE END OF THE ROAD (WELL, DERITEND)
DIG THE NEW BREED (OF DIGBETH PUBS)
“In the (Birmingham) City there’s a thousand words (OK 342) I wanna say to you“. Yes, one for Beer Mat now as we finally enter some Digbeth pubs you’ll all have heard of, even if you’ve never been further out of Brum than the funny bull statue. It’s the Anchor ! It must be 17… Continue reading DIG THE NEW BREED (OF DIGBETH PUBS)
OPTING OUT OF THE CASK ALE LOTTERY
Packets of Bombay Mix are fine, bit some of our esteemed (i.e. old) pubgoers get a bit hungry between pubs, so we resolved to make the Big Bulls Head an”official” lunch stop. On the way we lost a Sheffield Hatter, but did find a Melox Marvel. While Mrs RM is quite taken with the shops… Continue reading OPTING OUT OF THE CASK ALE LOTTERY
FOOD FOR THOUGHT IN DIGBETH
Well done to Life After Football for identifying the Ansells sign from Digbeth’s Eagle & Tun. It is just possible he has local knowledge, though. We popped there, across the road from the Woodman, having admired the old Curzon railway building, because all ale men are also rail men, aren’t they ? (A: No) Now,… Continue reading FOOD FOR THOUGHT IN DIGBETH
DIGBETH ’18 – IT BEGINS
Three days off pruning hedges and feeding teenagers, then off to Brum on World Cup Semi-Final Day. I won’t tell you how many England won by, just in case you still haven’t watched it on I-Player. The journey took 2 hrs 20, compared to the 90 minute stroll to St Andrews before the A14 improvements… Continue reading DIGBETH ’18 – IT BEGINS
