The Beacon Hotel, Dudley

[hopwas]

This pub is high on my list for future pub crawls.

So What I am asking is any of you give me review about this pub. I always wanted to visit this pub but never got around to it

I heard their home ale.. Dark Ruby (6%) is very popular.

Also.. any decent pubs nearby?

Many thanks

Hoppy

Hi hoppy,

I haven't been in the Beacon either and it is on my to do list.
Regarding nearby pubs the Wetherspoon (The Clifton) is worth visiting and so is the Red Lion and the Swan Inn.
It has been a few years since I was there so things could have changed !!

Cheers,

Del.

Not sure of the distances involved but Holdens brewery tap , The Park Inn is in Dudley and was a very good pub (not been for a few years) and Bathams Brewery tap , The Vine a legendary pub is just down the road in Brierly Hill .
Sarah Hughes , Holdens and Bathams taps in one trip sounds great to me , tempted to do it myself , now wheres that timetable
