‘He was a wise man who invented beer’ – Plato

Time and again the pub has been there for us. It’s been there through the laughter, the spilled drinks, the late nights and the great nights, and it’s high time we stood up, raised our glasses, and took a moment to appreciate all that our favourite pubs have done for us. But it’s no longer just the humble pubs who offer us the chance to enjoy a pint. In recent years we have seen the rise of a new breed of beer drinking establishments: the microbreweries. As small-batch, craft beers become ever-more popular, we have seen Birmingham’s beer scene grow and flourish at an astonishing rate. One area where this is more prevalent than others is Stirchley, where taprooms, bars and microbreweries seem to appear overnight, adding to the ever-growing ‘Stirchley Beer Mile’.

As microbreweries and taprooms spring up across the city, each offering their own unique and distinctive brews, we are spoilt for choice on where to imbibe our favourite drink. So, it’s time that we celebrate all of Birmingham’s many watering holes. Here with the lowdown is your friendly, neighbourhood Independent Birmingham and our tipple-topping guide to the best places for a pint in Birmingham. Onward, for beer and for glory!

This list is by no means a list of every single place across Birmingham and Solihull where you can enjoy a delicious beer. We couldn’t possibly fit them all into one article without it becoming ridiculously long. So, in no particular order, read on for the very best of the best places to enjoy a pint in Brum.

Purecraft Bar And Kitchen

Home to over 80 different beers (you heard us, 80!), Purecraft Bar and Kitchen is certainly setting the bar high (excuse the pun… but seriously, we meant to do that) when it comes to craft beer in Birmingham. Whether you’d rather drink with your friends or alone with a book then this is the ideal establishment to get your beer on. Serving a vast array of Purity beers as well as god knows what other types of crazy beers, get ye to Purecraft Bar and Kitchen and thank us for the tip later.

IB Tip: Purecraft Bar and Kitchen also offer beer tasting events, where they can really showcase their passion for beer. These events are a great way to dip your toes into the murky world of craft beer and discover more about different beers and how they pair well with certain foods (a great gift for a beer loving pal).

Cherry Reds

Indie legends Cherry Reds were one of Birmingham’s very first specialist craft beer bars. They have a superb craft beer collection and we’re here to tell you that an evening spent at Cherry Reds with a pint in hand is a rather special way to spend your time.

Craft beer, funky tunes, friendly people and cupcakes (did we mention they have cupcakes?), we’ll be seeing you at Cherry Reds then?

The Juke is a glorious bar bringing something different to the neighbourhood of Kings Heath.

BoneHead consistently knock the fried chicken out of the park, and they also happen to have a fridge fully-stocked with some of the best cans and bottles of the good stuff (and they have some on tap too).

Indian Brewery Snowhill

This taproom-style Indian streatery (street food eatery for those wondering) is the place to go for tasty Indian street food-style dishes and a great pint.

Burning Soul Brewing

A fantastic independent brewery and taproom in Brum, Burning Soul has smashed its way into the Birmingham craft beer scene and amassed quite the cult following. They brew their own beer and then serve it in their taproom – it’s a winning combination. You get to try new and intriguing beers before they go out to the masses, and hang out with like-minded beer folk all at the same time. We like where this is going. The taproom is only open on Fridays and Saturdays, so that means you’ll just have to plan your week solely around visiting Burning Soul. You won’t regret it!

IB Deal: 10% off takeaway craft beer cans

The Victoria

Whilst The Victoria is well-known for its whisky, it’s also a great place to enjoy a pint.

This independent off-licence stock a range of alcoholic drinks, but their strength lies in their excellent beer offering.

Tilt

It’s a coffee shop (one of the best in Brum), yet they serve craft beer and have pinball machines. To be honest, you should probably just stop reading right now and go get your beer fix – we won’t stop you. Now, whilst these bad boys technically aren’t pints (since they’re all funky and served in stemless glasses – it is craft beer after all!), they are still brilliant beers and you should probably go try them for yourself. There are regularly changing beers on tap, as well as bottles and cans to drink in or take away. Go discover a new favourite and set a high score on the pinball machine while you’re at it too.

Either way, you’re winning at life.

IB Deal: 15% off craft beer (please ask for a member of staff to redeem) + 15% off food from Brum Mi

Nortons

This Irish bar is not like other Irish bars. They describe themselves as Digbeth’s most contemporary traditional Irish pub. Family-run, this less than traditional Irish bar is all about craft and local beers, free live music events, and Sky and BT Sports – so you never have to miss a match again. They serve homemade pizzas to accompany your pint, a wide range of cask, keg and bottled beers, and of course they have Guinness.

Connolly’s

Now it’s not a pub, or a place where you can actually enjoy a pint… so what we’re saying is that we’ve (once again) gone a little off-piste. But then again, we’re crazy like that. Connolly’s is an independent wine merchant. So what’s it doing on this list, we hear you cry. Well, they have a pretty awesome selection of craft beer in stock – perfect for allowing you to discover new tastes and pour your own pint in the comfort of your home.

This pub is quirky and charming, and they even have a covered garden – so you can enjoy your chosen beverage al fresco, even when the weather is less than ideal.

The Old Crown

The Old Crown is the jewel of Digbeth and a firm favourite of many (probably all) locals of Birmingham’s creative sector. Their beer garden is just the place to catch some of those life-affirming rays of sunshine (when that dastardly ball of fire deems fit to show itself!) and enjoy the good company of friends. The interior is everything you could ever dream of from Brum’s oldest pub, quaint and traditional, with a modern edge. The quaint decor and lively beer garden lends The Old Crown a quintessential British pub vibe and we love it. You’ll love it too.

After months of successful treatment, thankfully Chris was able to open his own brewery and taproom – Leviathan Brewing. The philosophy is simple – brewing quality beer, using the best ingredients.

Ale Hub Micropub

This micropub is a relative newbie on the beer scene, having opened in late 2020 by a group of beer enthusiasts who wanted to revitalise the local pub scene.

They specialise in cask ales, craft beers and a range of gins.

The Post Office Vaults

With 8 real ales and 13 real ciders on tap, alongside over 400 (yes, 400!) bottled beers from across the world, The Post Office Vaults certainly is a beer enthusiast’s delight. Yes, it may look like you’re entering the dreaded post office, where dreams come to die. The reality is that you’re actually entering a brilliant pub where beer dreams come alive. Grab a pint, then grab another, then maybe a third. Your mission: to work your way through all the beers before they add yet more to their already vast collection.

IB Tip: The Wellington (unbeknown to many) has a lovely beer garden/terrace out back. It’s kind of a hidden gem in the city and when the sun comes out, this could be a safe bet for a quieter, less bustling, beer garden experience – although perhaps not now we’ve told everyone about it…

Ale Rooms

This small real ale bar can be found in Knowle, perfectly placed on the High Street to serve their wonderful selection of quality, carefully-selected drinks. They have a wonderful selection of craft beer (both locally brewed and from further afield), premium lager and cider, and a wide range of gin.
