Pub of the Season

On a bright sunny Sunday in March, members of Redditch and Bromsgrove CAMRA got together to celebrate the end of a cold spell by presenting their Winter Pub of the Season Award. This season’s award was won by the Red Lion in Bromsgrove in recognition of the consistency of well kept real ale served in this one-roomed lounge pub in the centre of Bromsgrove’s high street. During the colder months licensee Jason Greenwood and his team ran a beer festival featuring regional ales from around the country; and the regular line-up of six Marstons beers was swapped for regional brewers from around the country such as Batemans and Everards.  On presenting the award, Redditch & Bromsgrove CAMRA Branch Chairman said that the Red Lion was a traditional community pub in the heart of Bromsgrove that local people are proud of; and that Jason and his team always give a warm welcome to everyone who comes through the door.
