Description

Started in September 2001 by Philip Darby and Niven Balfour. The Nottingham Brewery is situated at the rear of the Plough Inn, Radford, Nottingham. It is a ten barrel plant that was formerly installed in a Firkin pub in Romford.

The Nottingham Brewery can be traced back to 1847, when James Long was listed as an ‘East India and Pale Ale Brewer’ on the site. James Long sold the business in 1875 and after passing through several ownerships it was purchased in 1879 by Edward Wheeler Field. Nottingham Brewery soon established itself as the city’s main brewery, serving fine ales to local citizens from its expanding estate of public houses, including The Plough Inn in Radford. After its closure by then owners Whitbread after the second world war, the name remained dormant. In 2001 it was resurrected by Philip Darby and Niven Balfour.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours pale straw with a small almost white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops in the aroma alongside biscuits and lemongrass. In the mouth it starts off basically sweet but quickly some sharpness becomes evident too. Flavour is mainly citrus incorporating lemon, grapefruit and floral hops. Hints of corn and mango come later too leading to a rather dry and sticky finish. This is reasonable.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Pale gold colour lasting white head. Citrus flavours. A little earthy flavour. Citrus finish. Moderate bitterness on the finish. Decent temperature and condition. Its fine. Sank down easily enough.
