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 Bull & Stirrup, Chester. Pours a dark ruby with a small foamy beige head. The aroma is mainly oats and lactose with a fiar sprinkling of malts. In the mouth those malts become dominant along with chocolate though oats can still be distinguished. At first the texture is creamy, but later it becomes quite bitter with burnt toast and hints of liquorice. Finish is somewhat dry and bitter. This is rather nice. A solid stout that hasn’t had the kitchen sink thrown at it.

Cask-conditioned, at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 28/11/22. Near black in colour with reddish undertones and a slight, off-white, head. Sweet chocolate throughout, a touch of red berries, some vanilla oak, before a rich , malty, finish. Good.
