First of a 'tour' north of New Street Hbf in an area which I've not done before. Just before lunchtime opening and already another group waiting outside and soon joined by many others gave insight to the popularity of this pub.

The pub is found in Birmingham, West Midlands, B2 5HU.

An up-market refurbishment in 2019 of a shop unit in the Great Western Arcade opposite Snow Hill station, the Good Intent is a "not-for-profit" pub operated by Craddocks Brewery. The management tell us "The aim of Craddock's Good Intent is to establish a bar in the heart of Birmingham and to donate all of its profits to charities and good causes. It would be amongst the first of its kind in the UK and we're excited by the prospect of being able to raise a glass and help good causes at the same time!" The pub has a ground floor bar with 6 hand pumps serving rotating Craddocks Ales and Guest Ales from the Midlands Area alongside Keg products, Wines, Spirits and Continental/Craft Beers. Sandwiches from nearby Anderson & Hill, a cheese specialist, are available on the bar. From there part of the upstairs cellar can be seen (they also have a cellar downstairs) Additional seating is available upstairs, and there is a function room available for hire. Do not be alarmed by the frequent rumbling and slight vibration from below, it is only the trains going through Snow Hill Tunnel below the pub

We have visited this pub once, seen 6 different beers and tried 1 of them.
