Myself & @sjrlyme.bsky.social visited The Vine Inn (The Bull & Bladder), home of Bathams Brewery. Their Mild & Bitter is the Nectar of the gods. Fabulous beer, and bloody good faggots & peas too. #Bathams, legendary beer of the Black Country.

Woofers must love Autumnal days at the pub. Warm welcome, ice cold water bowls and no parasols blocking up the snack holes. #pubdog #porkscratchings #theblackcountry #bathams
