Very olde-worlde on the outside, modern and renovated to hell and back on the inside. The beer selection is small, but theybiffer three cask beers from Ledbury, who are hard to find outside the area. A bitter and two pales including a small batch release. The beers are simple and well-made. So nothing insanely hard to find but certainly worth popping your head in here if in Ledbury.

Handpull cask at the Feathers Hotel, Ledbury. Light gold and clear with a very small white head. Sweet spicy aroma, light grains, some appley and grapefruit notes. Taste is bittersweet, a little soapy and astringent. A fair intensity to the bitter finish. Light body, soft carbonation. Reasonable.

Handpull cask from the Swan Hotel, Upton upon Severn. Light to mid-gold,clear, a small ring of white head and lots of lacing. Light grassy aroma,some lemon curd. Tastes sweet and lightly fruity, more tempered lemon character here, gentle vanilla malt. Light to medium body, no carbonation. It's okay,not particularly memorable but some nice bits along the way.

Looks very 1970s careworn on the outside, bit the inside of the Great Malvern Hotel is a bit spruced up. The public bar especially has a nice feel to it although gives a bit of a formal yet dated character. Five cask beers, most easily available stuff from nearby breweries: Wye Valley, Ledbury, Brew52, Three Tuns. You'll find good beer here, but tick ability will be low.
