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. Golden colour, big white head. Aroma is fruity hops with some slight bittering notes. Flavour is quite the same along with perfume. Very one dimensional and quite boring.

Cask at GBBF 2006. A hazy dark yellow beer with a bubbly off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of sulphur and flowers. The flavor is very floral and with strong notes of honey - a bit too much honey for my liking, it also has lighter notes of oranges, and a bitter bite to the tongue.
