It was a Davenports pub, one of only two in the city centre in the 1970s when I first went there and nearly every pub was either Ansell's or M & B. I used to go there whenever I visited Birmingham and it was close enough to New Street station for me to pop in whenever I changed trains there for years afterwards. The 1979 CAMRA Good Beer Guide describes it as a 'pleasant, comfortable bar with Antipodean overtones'.Maybe they just sold Fosters!
I don't actually know to be honest.
