Party guests raise a glass to opening of historic Queens Head after refurb

A series of launch parties marked the opening of the Queens Head in Steelhouse Lane, Birmingham. The pub is the latest opening by Davenports Brewery which was established in the city in 1829. Guests raised a glass with a variety of drinks, including Continental Lager which the brewery is reviving. The pub, dating back to before 1850, has undergone a £350,000 refurbishment by Davenports’s own build team.
