Birmingham's Hop & Scotch Makes History with Fourth Consecutive 'Pub of the Year' Award
The Hop & Scotch micropub in Kings Heath has achieved a remarkable milestone by being named CAMRA's 'Pub of the Year' for the fourth year in a row. This unprecedented win solidifies its position as Birmingham's premier destination for real ale enthusiasts.
A Record-Breaking Achievement
Before this year, Hop & Scotch was tied with Inn on the Green, which has since become an Afghan restaurant, for three CAMRA 'Pub of the Year' awards. With this latest accolade, Hop & Scotch now definitively holds the crown as CAMRA's favourite pub in Birmingham, a feat believed to be unmatched by any other establishment in the city.
Located at 9 Institute Road in King's Heath, B14 7EG, the micropub opened its doors in 2018 and has quickly become a beloved local institution. The venue is renowned for its knowledgeable staff who guide patrons through a curated selection of cask ales, craft beers, ciders, and perries, emphasizing quality over quantity.
Celebrating Community and Excellence
In response to the award, Hop & Scotch expressed gratitude on social media, highlighting the 'hard work' of its staff and the 'amazing community' of regulars that have flourished around the pub. The owners stated, 'We are so incredibly proud to have been recognised by CAMRA members once again, for being their number one spot for the best real ale in the city.'
The pub's success is attributed to meticulous efforts in sourcing, cellaring, and serving fine beverages, as well as fostering a welcoming atmosphere. Hop & Scotch plans to set a date soon for a formal certificate presentation by Birmingham CAMRA and a celebration to mark this historic fourth win.
This award not only honors the pub's dedication to excellence but also underscores its role as a vibrant community hub in Kings Heath, making it a must-visit for both locals and visitors seeking an authentic Birmingham pub experience.
