★ Award winningKnown for a full range of styles

Nottingham Brewery carries a name that the brand traces back to 1847 and to the city's St. Mary's Brewery. The modern business grew up around the Plough Inn in Radford, where the beers were long brewed on a ten-barrel plant behind the pub. The range stands in the tradition of English cask ale: an amber session bitter, a dark mild, a golden ale and an extra pale ale, joined more recently by hop-led pale ales.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
