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.

Tuesday 21st January 2025, Blue Boar, Leicester mid afternoon; hand pulled half pint. Red hue to the bronze coloured body, clean looking; off white crown. Rye giving the colour and a twist to it's aroma and taste, feels spicy but most likely isn't spiced, it's the Rye again! Went well with the Blue Stilton Bap I had with it.

Cask at the Fat Cat’s 2024 Beer Festival with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Aroma is lemon, grass, citrus, coconut and grapefruit. Finish is more tropical but does have a thin body. Bitterness coming through late.

Aroma is citrusy. Slightly spice. Clear gold. Frothy foamy white head. Citusy. Underlying soft malts. Light-medium bodied. Thin to slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice enough.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Pours black, small beige head, nice retention. Aroma is sweet, toasty, coffee. It's quite dry and bitter throughout but with enough sweetness to balance. Roasted malts and dark chocolate dominate. Smooth body. Good.
