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 the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, 15/11/13. Hazed golden blonde with a moderate off white covering. Nose is orchard fruit, straw, light bread dough, earthy. Taste pretty much follows, really not a lot else to say, light bready malt and straw. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry light grassy conclusion. So so indeed, little in the way of hops, had this one down as a bitter.

Half-pint, gravity pour at the 1st Hodnet Sports and Social Club Beer Festival on 17 Aug 2013. Light amber body with a small white head. Good hop aroma, spice/wood and earthy. Dry and refreshing: the hops leading the way throughout, malts under the surface helping to give a bit of balance towards the end of each mouthful. OK and almost interesting, the 5.5% ABV giving it a pleasant punch.
