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.

Almost black in colour with a small lasting tan head. The aroma is bitter chocolate and dark roasted malts. A dry roasted malt taste, not too sweet, bitter chocolate and some hints of ash in the finish. Nice.

Cask at the Crosse Keys (JDW), London. A glossy black pour with a fast fading coffee coloured head; aroma of ground coffee; sweet, oaty body with some bitter coffee and a drier finish leaving a milky mouth feel. A rather good, tasty stout.
