From a pub-ticker point of view, it's quite hard to gain access to a pub that's technically classed as being in international waters. We therefore jumped at the chance to visit the Wetherspoons at Birmingham Airport, and it had to be a now or never moment to get that all important Cask Marque certificate scanned. Our flight was an 11am departure; and even though it was a short trip we still decided that a half would be best. Many of the ales belonged to a national portfolio, but I was delighted to try a beer that I could add to my inventory. Brewed by Banks’s Brewery in Wolverhampton, the Angler’s Ale was one of Wetherspoons’ guest brewery projects, whereby they invite an overseas brewer to visit Britain to brew one of their own beers on our shores. And in this case, it was brewed by Tim Surprise of the Arcadian Brewing Company in Michigan USA. Very suitable in an airport departure lounge.
