GlassHouse in Bournville

You know, I recently checked out GlassHouse Brewery and it really left a positive mark—it's one of those spots that feels like a hidden gem tucked away in Birmingham. The beers are an absolute highlight; they're brewed right on site, with a great selection of fresh, low-ABV options that pack in subtle, impressive flavours without overwhelming you. It's ideal for catching up with friends over a pint, especially with the friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The location by the canal is spot on too—think easy walks from nearby areas and loads of space to sit inside or out, which is brilliant on a sunny day. Plus, they've got some tasty street food pop-ups that pair perfectly with the drinks, adding to the whole experience. On the flip side, it's a shame it's only open twice a week, so you might have to juggle your plans a bit to make it work. And while the service is welcoming, it can drag on occasionally, but that's part of the chilled-out charm, really. All in all, if you're into craft beer and fancy a proper brewery vibe, GlassHouse is well worth seeking out—just keep those opening times in mind for a smooth visit.
