Welcome to the pint-sized blog
This is the latest blog brought to you by the fantastic Birmingham Post blogs section, and a resurfacing of a previous one. Over the coming days, weeks or months I'll be searching for the top brew in the pubs, clubs and bars of Birmingham and the West Midlands. No beer mat will be left unturned, no pub guide unchecked, no bartender or local blearily unexamined in the quest for the perfect pint.
Benjamin Franklin, a very clever man by all accounts, once said: "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." And with new breweries and new pints to try springing up by the bushelful every year, there's never been a better time to go out and look for the best place to enjoy a swift half - or more.
Of course, as a dedicated professional during the working hours, this blogger doesn't have time to visit the pub more than once or twice a day at the very most.
Or possibly even less. So I'll be relying on tips, recommendations and feedback to know where best to go.
If you've got somewhere you're keen to see reviewed, think somewhere is sorely overrated, or if you feel your local boozer is a sadly overlooked gem, get in touch with me at tom.scotney@birminghampost.net and I'll check it out. Maybe we'll go together.
If you like what you see, or if you're enraged by the slanderous comments heaped upon your favourite pub or pint, please leave a comment seeting the record straight. I'm always happy (more or less) to be corrected.
Chin chin!

For someone who visits a pub 'once or twice a day' there aren't many postings. And does 'West Midlands' actually mean 'Central Birmingham'?
Clifford, that's just my little joke, sadly I have to work for a living so can't booze with quite the same frequency and variety as in my youth.
I do need to get out more, but am stuck in the centre of Birmingham at the moment by time constraints and convenience. Any suggestions for places to visit around the area? Keep watching this space...
