A real ale-lovers pub. The real ale on offer is always of a high standard and eminently drinkable, especially now that "The Angel" (The Higher Angel has long gone) has its own beers on sale, having installed a brewery!
Prices are extremely good and they take a lot of business off us poor, tied publicans....unfortunately, deservedly!
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a cracking pint.
6.9.2010 Although advertised, still no sign of "home-brewed" ales on sale, but selection is still extremely good.
Update January 2011; Brewery in operation and awaiting first brew to be ready and casked. Last time I visited, I had some Salopian Black Ops...a "meal-in-a-glass"! Extremely well-served extra porter at 7.5%, not for the faint-hearted (nor drivers).
Further update 9.7.2011 We picked the one day when there were no Tipsy Angel brews on. I have also found that this is a tied house (quelle surprise!)
Still excellent choice of well-served ales plus almost 100 malt whiskies; the first time I have seen Edradour on sale in an English pub and they have a choice of two! read more
