Gin in Birmingham
Gin has been making a comeback in the past five to ten years and Birmingham has been making a name for itself as one of the top cities in the UK for gin tasting. In fact, it is home to one of only six independent gin distilleries in the country: Langley Distillery is the UK’s largest dillisting plant and manufactures over eighty types of gin. Birmingham is also home to dozens of great bars that specialise in gin tasting, cocktail making or even distilling their own. This is the guide that will take you on a tour around the city - try one, try a few, try them all if you so wish!

These places represent Birmingham’s change from its minor medieval origins, to its Victorian expansion, to its modern heyday. They are iconic and important locations, firmly rooted in the history of the UK’s second city. They are just a taste of what the city has to offer.
