About
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.

Gravity cask at the Pembury Tavern, London, on 16th July 2009 during the pub’s festival. Gold coloured with white head that quickly flattens away. Cerial malt in the aroma; burst of herby, grassy hoppiness swiftly followed (if not met) by savoury, cheesy notes which I personally found delicious. Smooth to saline mouthfeel follows an initial "sticky" texture which I put down to the weather at the time (warm and humid with thunderstorms). A dry finish.

Cask, Swan, Liverpool. Hazy orange colour with a medium white head. Aroma was floral and candyish with citrus hints. Hops and caramel present in the flavour, but a bit on the sweet side. Kind of average but drinkable.
