Moorhouses's Pure Witch at the Red Lion, Redditch

This beer was a strange but surprising choice for a pub that only has two real ales and is tied to a pub company. The Red Lion is a small local’s pub with a small lounge and a corridor around the back which accommodates a dartboard. It’s on the edge of an industrial estate which attracts a lot of post-work trade, but the road also goes off into the country lane and attracts a fair few locals too. There’s not even room for tables between the bar and the pub’s entrance, but the bar is long enough for people to lean on. Outside, the facilities look like they’ve been converted from an outhouse as you travel through a small corridor into the outside of the pub and into a separate room. There’s also a lot of land that could be sold for development. It’s another pub that we’re hoping to list as an asset of community value.
