Description
Reported by CAMRA in March 2025 that beers are now being brewed at Birmingham Brewing Co.

Please check when adding new beers but it would seem to appear best practice to add them as brewed there going forwards.

Before there was the brewery, there were pubs. The Plough and Harrow was the first, 2006. Then the Duke William 2009. These two beautiful and popular pubs are a short distance apart and are the reason that Craddock’s Brewery is rooted in Stourbridge.

The brewery was installed at the Duke William in March 2011. The next two years the focus of the company was on perfecting the beers and remaining traditional and true to the local heritage of small, family-run pub and brewery companies. This was when Dottie the Dray horse would work every Sunday delivering the beer to the Plough and Harrow.

Clear pale gold with a frothy white head an not much aroma to write home about. Light bodied, some mellow fruity notes and a very mild, slightly dry finish.

Cask at Good Intent, Birmingham. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small scummy cream head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly roasted malts with traces of oats and vanilla. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy, but with a little underlying bitterness. Roasted malts again in the flavour, along with lactose and vanilla with hints of chocolate, balsam and honey later on. Finish is slightly dry. This is quite nice – smooth and easy drinking.
