I can't find a thread about this brewery. (Do let me know if there is one please). Perhaps it became some other brewery. Not sure which building(s) in the drawing below belonged to the brewery. The address was Aston Model Brewery, 249-251 Lichfield Road, Aston, Birmingham. Streetview puts the site of this address not far from the old Britannia (Hotel) on Lichfield Road Aston.

A bit more history. The Model Brewery was founded in 1875, later acquired by W Butler & Co in 1955 according to the Brewey History Society. (Maybe it became Mitchells and Butler ?)

The extract below is from TreasureTrove.com. Attached, a couple of Model Brewery items.
