Birmingham, UK Be on The Look Out

[DRIFT4EVA]

Calling all Brummies. I am a Kiwi who lives in Birmingham. I have now been here for nearly a year. It has been a spectacular time thus far, but there is something missing. That missing thing my friends is my beer. I yearn for the taste of dear old Speights Gold Medal Ale. There used to be a Speights Ale House in London, unfortunately it's now shut. If it's possible to get Australian beers here it must be possible to get Speights Gold here too. If it means a trip on a bus or train to get it I will do so. Please, please when going to the off-license to stock up, keep your eyes peeled for the liquid heaven in a bottle, pictured below.



Please any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Help reunite a man with his brew haha

Thank you

The only place I know of in Birmingham that might be able to help you out is the Post Office Vaults in the middle of the city: http://postofficevaults.co.uk/ If they don't have it in stock, they might be able to help you find it.

 

[DRIFT4EVA]

Not on their product list, but I have emailed them. Fingers Crossed! Thank you DG_Silva, yet again. This is becoming a habit haha

You could get it delivered...

 

[DRIFT4EVA]

I have thought about doing just that and looked into it. The issue is that it's astronomically priced. To be fair though I predict it's going to be like that however I can get it

 

[DG_Silva]

I did think of that suggestion Famine, but even thought that was too much for a bottle of beer. Nearly £2?

I will say though, I've got my eye on that jeroboam of beer from the PO Vaults.

Madison Drinks Company have the Gold Medal Ale in their catalogue, page 42.
Just send them an E-mail.

Aaaaaaand the email has just gone out. Thank you ever so much Vegard. All these little gems of places I never would have known about. Even ruthless google searches only brought back Sanza and the like

It sounds like you need to try new beers, and the vaults is the best place for it. Their book of bottled beers could probably kill someone haha! Prefer a cask ale myself though.

 

[DRIFT4EVA]

Ha ha. It's funny you should say that. I have taken quite a liking to Brewdog Punk IPA

I'm not a fan of the brew dog bar, strange taste out of their taps and can't just justify the price, even in town.
