Flipside Brewery
Microbrewery
in Nottingham,
Nottinghamshire,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Lord Roberts
Established in 2010
In May 2014 we opened our brewery tap, the Old Volunteer in Carlton Square, Nottingham. The pub has nine real ales on hand pull, four of which are Flipside brewery beers with five regularly changing guest beers. We are proud to be both CaskMarque and LocAle accredited and take great pride in the quality of our beers. The Old Volunteer also offers a range of craft keg beers, bottled Belgian beers and over 40 whiskies from around the globe (but mainly Scotland). Complementing a small but excellent food menu, great decor and an excellent, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, a visit to the Old Volunteer is not to be missed.
After a lot of thought about a name for a brewery we came up with Flipside, a reference to the coin collecting hobby of our head brewer. This also provides the theme for the names of the beers which are loosely based around coins and currency, apart from when we can’t resist using the word "flipping"!

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2014. Black beer lasting tan head. Liquorice on the aroma. Tarry. Some chocolate. Better finish than the aroma

Cask-conditioned at the Beer Emporium, Bristol 25/1/2014. Near black with a slight, off-white head. Plain chocolate, dark fruits, a touch of citrus hop, and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at Ye Olde Mitre Tavern, Farringdon, London on 1st November 2013. Pale gold with thin off-white foam and almost no lacing. Hoppy, herby and slightly smoky aroma. Herbiness and smoke in-mouth with grassy lead to a bitter finish of grass and herb. Crisp mouthfeel and light refreshing body.

Bottle from Co-Op in Oakham, Rutland. Poured a hazy golden colour with a thick off white head. Light grassy aroma and slight plastic notes. Flavours of lemon zest and grain. Finished with an unbalanced resiny bitterness.

Cask. Golden color with small white head. Aroma of malt, citrus, citrus zest. After promising aroma, taste was big disappointment, very bland malty base, with very shy citrus hops.

500ml bottle picked up at The Ship in a Bottle, Liverpool. Fading, bubbly, whiten head. Near-clear, golden body. No lacing. Pale malty aroma mingled with dusty hops. Rather bland flavour profile of pale malts and leafy hops. Floury and watered ending. Notes of alcohol. Flat and rather disappointing (Tromsø 29.05.2013).

Das letzte Bier, das wir damals bei unserer Flipside-Verkostung hatten. Der krönende Abschluss mag ausbleiben, es ist aber auch kein Ende mit Schrecken. EIn einfaches, normales Pale Ale mit brauchbaren, aber auch nicht großartigen Aromen. Ein klassisches Bier, das man immer wieder trinken kann, aber auch nichts spezielles.

Eine gute englische Brauerei konnt natürlich nicht ohne Porter aus, so auch diese. Der rauchige Penny hat tolle Noten nach Kakao und pechschwarzer Schokolade, gepaart mit leicht beerigen Noten und leichter Schärfe hinten raus. Ein nett komponiertes Porter, das etwas harmonischer sein könnte, aber dafür einen eigenen Touch hat.
