Had a good day out in Brum in the end. The Sack of Potatoes was my first port of call and it sounds like it hasn't changed too much since your review. The beer range was maybe a little more...

Saturdays in Birmingham must be all the rage, as I'll be there tomorrow and funnily enough, I've also got the Sack of Potatoes on my to do list. I'll let you know how I get on.

Yes, it's excellent. Eleven ales on yesterday including some impressive heavy hitting IPA's. Well worth doing - it's around a 15 minute walk from the city centre.

If you're going to the Wellington and PO Vaults, you could stop off in the Pure Bar and Kitchen, which is a new venture from the Purity Brewery, just off Victoria Square. I had a look yesterday and...

The football fixtures came out today so I'll be putting together plans based around them soon. I'm a bit annoyed that I'll miss the comparatively local derby against Pompey on the opening day of the...
