The Nottingham brewing scene
Local breweries across Nottingham
Nottingham is one of the Midlands' strongest beer cities. Castle Rock anchors the cask tradition and runs a clutch of city pubs, while Black Iris, Neon Raptor and Liquid Light lead a modern scene of taprooms turning out everything from hazy pale to imperial stout.
The taprooms make an easy crawl, and most breweries pour from their own bar. The same names anchor Nottingham's festivals, so a favourite brewery is an easy way into a day out.

Newark
Beermats was born out a couple of friends sitting round a table in the local after a hard days work, playing that flipping game that everyone knows with bunch of beer mats! With their wealth of experience, love of beer and the craft of making it they deciding that opening their own brewery was an obvious step to take. The name of the brewery was easy and the rest as they say is history! Fulfilled through our dedication to detail, the art of making beer and our passion for the end result we have grown into a brand we are proud of and want to share with you.

When Chris Holmes opened the Old King’s Arms in Newark, it was an act of defiance against an industry dominated by monopolistic brewers. It was niche, believe it or not, to focus on real ale in homely surroundings. The brewery opened twenty years later and, in 2010, we were catapulted into the spotlight when Harvest Pale was crowned Supreme Champion Beer of Britain. We now have over twenty pubs in the Castle Rock extended family, brew a huge variety of skilfully crafted beers, and work hard to have a positive impact on the world around us. Running great pubs and brewing great beer is still our humble life’s mission.
Belper
Crich Brew Co is a microbrewery based in Derbyshire, England, dedicated to crafting small-batch beers using locally sourced ingredients to minimize their carbon footprint. They prioritize sustainability by recycling water for cleaning and donating spent grain to local farms for livestock feed. Originally located in Crich, the brewery has moved to Belper, where they have expanded capacity and opened a taproom. Their beers are available through monthly online sales, local pubs, bottle shops, and at their taproom, which hosts events like craft beer festivals and tap takeovers.
