Nottingham Brewery
Brewpub
in Nottingham,
Nottinghamshire,
England 🏴
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 2001
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 Olde Dolphin, Derby. Pours the classic “bitter brown” with minimal off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is malts mixed with orange peel. In the mouth it starts off watery with bead and malts, then progresses to being fruity with apricots and spices, before finally grains and traditional bitter hops come through. Finish is spicy but sweet. Wasn’t too keen on this at first, but it’s a grower.

Cask at Old Dolphin, Derby. Has a faint aroma of nuts. Surprisingly for a mild, it pours “bitter brown” with a small cream head and good lacing. In the mouth it has a creamy texture with a main flavour of flowery hops. Roast malts and chocolate get a look in too. Finish is slightly bitter. It’s a bit strange for a mild, but otherwise OK.

500ml bottle. Gluten Free. Golden amber colour, foamy white head leaving lacing and aroma of malt, grain, floral fruity hop. Taste is malty, some grain, toffee, fruity, with blackcurrant hint and tangy hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Cask (gravity) at Old Dolphin, Derby Pours a cloudy golden yellow with minimal head. (NB it’s NOT “extra pale”). Has an aroma of marmalade, berries and some straw. Marmalade again in the mouth, with some peppery hops and slightly sweet. Finish, however is a horrible bitter lemon which lets it down completely.

Third by cask, shared with Finn on the third day of GBBF Winter 20, Iron Bridge Bar. A beige bubbly head over a plain black body, scattered lacing. Ashy chocolate aromas. Roasted chocolate malts to the taste buds sustain by cocoa powder and a bite of dark berries. Roasted ending. Medium bodied. Pleasing. (Birmingham 06.02.2020).
