As we continue to look forward to our third annual Rail and Ale, we are pleased to announce some more breweries we have lined up!

Green Duck Beer Co.
An independent microbrewery founded in 2013, focusing on producing innovative, hop‑forward ales. Operating out of an industrial unit in Stourbridge, the brewery features a semi‑automated 20HL brewhouse and invested in its own canning line in 2020 to expand its reach beyond local cask distribution.

Kynn Brew
An independent nano‑brewery based in Birmingham that specialises in small‑batch, experimental beers. Operating on a modest 300‑litre kit, they focus on refining classic styles such as the Hellakynn Helles lager and the hazy Idle Bones pale ale. They’re known for incorporating local ingredients to create complex, character‑filled beers.

Come and find your new favourite on the bar — and show off their logo on our T‑shirts, now available to pre‑order at:

We’re opening the weekend with:
• FREE entry from 5pm
• Open Mic from 6–9pm
