Black Country Ales are running their annual Ale Trail minibus tours this year between the 1st March and 31st May. Our local Black Country Ales pub, the Royal Oak in Coton Hill, Shrewsbury, is putting on an Ale Trail minibus on Saturday 6th April. This will be travelling over to the Black Country at 11am to visit seven of the Black Country Ales pubs, spending 50 minutes in each one, and then returning at 8pm. The cost will be approximately £20. Places on the bus are limited and must be pre-booked by going into the Royal Oak and putting your name on the list.
