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.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Good Intent on 4th March 2024. Pale golden body, white affair on top. Citrus leaning in the nose and taste, no sheep.

Cask at Good Intent. Aroma had malts and honey. Clear gold. Foamy white head with decent lacing. Medium bitter. Resin. Sour citrus. Underlying buttery streak. Spice. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Sweet and boozy. Not particularly exciting. On second thoughts , the sweet buttery booze is a bit 'meh'.

Handpull cask at King Charles II, Worcester. Light to mid-gold, clear with very little head. Malty, buttery aroma with a touch of vinegar. Sweet taste with a harsh vegetable/plastic off note at the finish. Could be past its best or just a bad beer. An unfortunate experience.
