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.

Sturdy bitter with a mild soapy aroma. Medium bodied, dark golden and struggles to maintain its head, although there’s no problem with its bitterness.

Cask @ Shepherd’s Rest, Sowerby Bridge. Very dark with a creamy off-white head. It’s a crisp and mild tasting ale with some sweet malt in its nose and some very light chocolate malt in its taste. Has a lovely smooth texture.

Very standard bitter, but it does have a kick in its aftertaste and some hops in its aroma.

An uninspiring mild rescued somewhat by a half decent aroma, but overall a weak texture.

Cask at the Duchess of Cambridge, London. Pours rich, black-brown with a frothy, beige head. Dark, almost burnt toast nose. Light sweet flavor with subtle dark fruits, light cocoa, raisins, grapes. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Nice condition. Moderately dry to finish, lightly toasty, with darkly toasted sugars, light dirt, purple grapes. A basic but fairly well-rounded mild.
