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.

10th Sep 2017: cask pint in The Pheasant, Wellington Shropshire. Straw blonde body, white topping. Yet another light coloured citrus flavoured beer from a UK brewer. I am fed up with them, others are not though, so they keep getting brewed. This one was no worse (or better) than all the rest. Thirst quenching enough, but not my thing. Scored objectively.
