Description
We are one of many craft brewers of British Ales to be found in Nottinghamshire and indeed, across the country. Our aim is to help continue the growth of Real Ale by providing a range of good quality, distinctive Real Ales.

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 @ White Swan, Hebden Bridge. Dark copper-red, but clear with a small off-white creamy head. Has a good aroma that’s full of chocolate, but more of mild taste as you might expect!

Cask, gravity dispensed, at the Spring Festival at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. A hazy amber pour with a ring of white head; grainy aroma; sweet citrus taste; and a biscuity finish. Not very exciting.

Cask @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Light golden ale with a thick creamy head. Hopped with a malty undercurrent. It’s a fairly balanced ale with a sugary-hop nose and a medium bitterness.

Appearance is dark brown, almost black, a big 2-3 finger off-white rocky head which takes a while to settle. Aroma- chocolate, liquorice, blackcurrant, malts, toffee hints. Taste- chocolate, bitter roast malt, quite hop-forward, fruity, lots of blackcurrant, malty towards the finish, plenty of carbonation. Good stuff.

Cask @ Jacob’s Beer House, Bradford. Darker clear brown with a small glow to it, and a creamy head. Mainly a bitter but has a hint of chocolate in its nose and taste. Quite malty when you don’t get the chocolate.
