A tip in case anyone gets lost finding this pub (like me yesterday). Annoyed 
GBG is so reticent on its location, but this is the first instance I have 
come across where a postcode leads you astray. The pub says GBG is correct 
with B46 2LB, but website planners direct you to centre of Shustoke and The 
Plough Inn. But the postcode of that pub is B46 2AN and inputting that to 
planners gets you to virtually the same spot as B46 2LB. Just to confuse 
further, streetmap.co.uk gets in wrong, except if you go via the link for 
Griffin Inn on the BITE website, although that uses streetmap too, it does 
point to the correct point. The BITE link via Google gets it wrong though.

The Griffin Inn is NOT in Shustoke village, but is opposite the church in 
Church End. As the Church End brewery started here, you see from where it 
got its name. It isn't a huge distance from Shustoke, but if travelling by 
bus (Stagecoach 717 hourly Brum International - Coleshill - Nuneaton) the 
best stop is at the Bulls Head in Furnace End. Walk towards Shustoke (road 
has path) but note carefully the footpath branching off to left that goes by 
the church and to the pub. The 717 bus does in fact go by the pub, but it is 
on a hideously dangerous S bend and there's no bus stop (and why walkers 
need to take the path via the church rather than risk death on the busy 
road). The road is the B4114 and not as suggested by GBG.

Having found the pub it was well worth the effort - what an excellent place! 
One Griffin beer on, but Sarah Hughes Ruby Mild too and a good selection of 
other beers, including Jennings Mild.

The 717 bus also serves Ansley, where the bus stop at the roundabout is a 
couple of minutes walk to the Lord Nelson Inn and the Tunnel Brewery.
