Looking for ale!
« on: Saturday 30 April 05 23:18 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I've discovered that my Great Great GrandMother (Anne Webster) was publican of the Royal Oak Inn, Halfpenny Greeen, Staffordshire, in the 1870's.

What I want to know is what beer would they have served?

Did they brew their own or did they get it from a brewery and if so which one.

And finally,would I be likely to get a free pint on the strength of the family connection?  ;D

Cheers,

Adrian

I've had a little search around and here they are:

 Royal Oak, Halfpenny Green, Bobbington Tel: 01384 221318
(also discovered that there is a bus stop outside - very handy if they buy you free drinks all night)

They could well have details of previous tennancies there.

Perhaps somebody else can help shed some light on it..
