A glimpse of old Birmingham 🍺

The Woodman has stood proudly on New Canal Street since 1897. The streets have changed, generations have passed, but the stories, conversations and good times behind these doors continue.

A little piece of Birmingham history, still serving the city today.

🤘 METAL NEVER DIES. NEITHER DOES THIS BEER.

Some beers deserve more than a guest appearance.

Black Sabbath IPA (4.0%) from Silhill Brewery is now a permanent fixture on the bar at The Woodman.

Inspired by Birmingham’s greatest musical legends, this easy-drinking IPA delivers crisp citrus, balanced bitterness and a finish worthy of the city that gave the world heavy metal.

No limited run.
No farewell tour.
Just legendary beer pouring every day.

🍺 Black Sabbath IPA – now permanently on cask at The Woodman.

Raise a glass to Birmingham. 🍻

Raise a pint in the city where it all began. 🤘
