The Whitley - Halesowen

[www.midlandspubs.co.uk]

The Whitley at Halesowen has recently re-opened as part of Black
Country Ales empire. In addition to their Gornal beers, they are
selling guest ales. This now forms an ale triangle with the Hawne
Tavern and Waggon and Horses. Better still, I hear that the former
Huntingtree [Button Factory] up the hill from Tesco's is now selling
four real ales so you can make a diagram from all four locations.

Visited The Whitley at Halesowen last night. They had 10 beers on
sale. Tried 5. All were perfectly OK but couldn't help thinking they'd
be trumped by a well-kept pint of Banks's Bitter. The beer board is
good because it clearly shows what type of beer and colour it is -
saves me asking for a dark one! The pub has been fitted out in Black
Country Ales fashion, quite cosy. Pleasant girl behind the counter who
gave samples of beers as a "buy before you try." Didn't need Heart FM
on the telly however. Somebody was singing an awful cover version of
Jackson 5's "I'll Be There". Still, not a bad pub experience and would
go back again.
