Revisit: The Swan
by stymaster on Nov.05, 2011, under Brownhills, Revisits, Walsall
I’ve always liked the Swan. It’s a traditional community pub in Brownhills, and as I posted here it’s just re-opened. It’s now a free house, so hopefully the new owners will be able to make a decent living and keep the prices realistic.
The new owners have done a cracking job: the interior has been redecorated and looks fresh, but still traditional. There’s cobs (yay!), a good welcome, and a good selection of beer at decent prices, including 2 well-kept cask ales. A very nice pub.

Hi Abbey
Nice to hear from you. The beer is well kept, and I’m tempted now to pay a visit for a pint of Beorma. Keep up the good work.
