The Little Ale House - Bromsgrove

I really enjoy going to 'The Little Ale House '. Always good beers on and often new things to try on draught or in bottles. Owners are great and plenty of friendly people to chat to.

A nice little micro brewery with comfortable benches, smart bar stools, a blue leather sofa and some kegs converted as stools. Bar snacks also available. No problems to try before you buy. Not too many to choose from, which suits most folks as too many ales cause confusion and slow the bar service down. The first one I tried was good enough to quickly order a pint: Hobsons dark ale, a pleasant dark nutty ale that can be enjoyed all year round!

My wife and I dropped in for a pre curry beer and everything about the place was wonderful. The staff were friendly and efficient the atmosphere was great and the beer was excellent. What more could you ask for.

Just a perfect place for a pint and a chat. No frills, no fuss, no music and no slots just good beer, cider and conversation. Bring your dog if you have one and ignore the one star reviews, anything less than The Savoy is not good enough for some.

Second visit, last time was over a year ago. Long gap between visits as don 't live in the area so was looking forward to a second visit as the first was good. It didn 't disappoint this time. A local ale, 'half cut ' was tipple of choice on this occasion. Why not 5 stars surprised that all ales were pale to mid and not anything ruby like on offer. 4 stars feels harsh and 4.5 would be truer score, if available. This isn 't a quaint old Inn with beams and roaring fires BUT it is a very good ale house where everyone there is keen on their beer so folks to talk with if you drop in on your own. Looking forward to a 3rd visit!
