Beer Festival at the Hop Garden, Harborne


I found this to be one of the strangest pubs that I’d ever been in. As soon as you walk through the door, the sight of wood hits you. There’s not a single hop in sight. The bar’s right in front of you as if it’s a legal requirement to purchase a drink before proceeding any further.  There’s a small snug room by the window and to the left there’s a larger room with plenty of tables to sit and socialise akin to a German Beer Hall. Then there’s the garden. It’s a great big space with a few tables and umbrellas, and there’s also furniture on the patio itself. But we were there for a beer festival. A small marquee had been set up to host the beers, but the licensee seemed to struggle to find anyone to serve them. Eventually things got going and we found that the beer wasn’t brilliant, so we decided to move on and explore Harborne some more.
