Magpie Brewery
Microbrewery
in Nottingham,
Nottinghamshire,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Barrel Drop
Established in 2006
Magpie certainly isn’t the fledgling it once was, with the addition of three pubs, Crafty Crow, Barrel Drop and Doctor’s Orders, where you can experience our great ales and the best of independent brews from near and far. In 2019 The Crafty Warehouse bottle shop and taproom were established next to the brewhouse, where you can buy directly from the brewery or stop for a pint. If you’re a true magpie, remember to check our social media for information on pre-match drinks!
Despite our evolution from 2006, ultimately Magpie began with a passion for beer and a love of the craft, and that’s something that we’ve maintained. We aim to bring you the finest beer, made from the finest ingredients – no shortcuts, no compromises.

3/9/2025. Cask at The Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. Aroma is herbal, citrus, straw. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness, light tartness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Fruity tart finish, a little starchy with developing bitterness. Was a grower.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Dark reddish brown, slightly translucent with s mall beige/khaki head. Aroma of cherry, balsamic vinegar,, black malts. Taste is sweet and savoury and maybe slightly sour, more cherry and a dash of Hendo's. Light body, little carbonation. Just does not do it for me.

On cask at Under the Clock, Retford. Deep ruby black body, no head. Burnt roast notes, bit of a cherry aftertaste, fairly drying, bit thin though.
