Castle Rock Brewery
Commercial Brewery
in Nottingham,
Nottinghamshire,
England 🏴
Associated with 17 Venues
Established in 1997
Adrian Redgrove was appointed in 2004 and the brewery went from strength to strength, producing high quality and consistent beers time after time after time. From the opening of the brewery, production grew from 30 barrels a week to over 100 barrels a week in 2010. Word spread and Castle Rock’s reputation grew.
In 2010, with the second brewery bursting at the seams Castle Rock underwent a further expansion, with a whole host of new equipment and an increased capacity of 360 barrels a week.
Today the brewery continues to create innovative new beers, while remaining consistent and of exceptional high quality. That said we reassure our customers that it isn’t ‘job done’ and we will work hard to continue to provide the very best beers that we can possibly deliver.

Half a pint, hand pulled at the Pheasant Inn & Brewhouse on 22nd November 2025. Clean and clear amber body, off white crust on top. Malty with a caramel aroma and flavour, calmed down with a good dose of hops.

Lace and Silk towns coming together here for an aptly named collaboration. Full-bodied but nothing particularly silky. It is hoppy with a stewed style tropical fruitiness available in both aroma and taste

I first encountered the Mysterons when Captain Scarlet had a re-run in the early 90's. This encounter has favour despite the brew being a decidedly average hoppy session. Nice clear golden coloured.

There's a memorial to William 'Fatty' Faulke in the reception area of Sheffield United's Bramall Lane. This is one to save just like Fatty did in goal, a sweetish flavoursome bitter with sugars and a very pleasant texture.

Can on 20th October 2025 from Morrisons via Deliveroo. Pours a densely hazy dull yellow with almost no foam or lace. Spicy citrus peel and earthy pungencies in aroma. Zesty peel in-mouth with grapefruit juice. Fresh lemon grapefruit citrus to finish. Crisp, zingy mouthfeel and a full body.
gave a cheers!

Hand-pulled pint at the Wrekin Inn on Sunday afternoon, 19th October 2025. Clean and clear but dull golden body, white crust on top. Easy going brew with a slight fruit leaning in both the aroma and taste, nice blend of hops and malts.
