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 (Roebuck JDW, Nottingham) - Golden in colour with notes of apricot, sultanas and toffee featuring in both the aroma and the taste. Drinkable but nothing to get excited about.

Bottle pour at Carlton Town FC - Golden body, with foamy towering head. Nose is a beautiful fresh citussy aroma, with oranges to the fore. A bit of a disappointment in the taste though with a bit of stingy hop, spicy hay and bitterness. Average.

Half-pint, gravity pour from the barrel in The Old Joint Stock on 30th Aug 2014. Clear light golden colour with a thin white crown. Floral and herb like hoppy aroma. The taste suited the aroma and the hops led the way in the flavouring. Pleasant without testing any of my senses.
