New openings/closings/pub/brewery news:

Lincoln Green Brewery has now started brewing and hope to launch their first beers ('Hood' Best Bitter and 'Marion' Pale Ale) at the Flying Bedstead, Watnall Road, Hucknall from Thursday 17th May.
Globe, Nottingham closed on Saturday, 5th May. To set the record straight, it had been threatened with demolition for a number of years as a new "Nottingham Gateway" from Trent Bridge was scheduled. For this reason, Great Northern Inns sold the pub to a finance company and leased it back. This company had trouble as a result of the financial crisis and the receivers upped the costs to GNI. They thus had no option but to close the pub. GNI have a number of other very good pubs in Nottingham, not least being the nearby Trent Navigation which they acquired last year. This has now spawned the new Navigation Brewery which now supplies beers to the group's other pubs. Keep reading here and we will advise as soon as we are able to what the future of the Globe will be - it may be good news..... We wish Paul, Lorraine and all the hard working staff all the best for their futures.
Horse & Jockey, Basford will be closing 6th June. Castle Rock have struggled to keep this viable in recent years but a recent further large decline in customers probably due to the current financial situation many now find themselves in has caused the company to reluctantly put it up for sale. We would like to see it remain as a pub but sadly it may not.
Pub People Company will be launching their new, permanent beer brewed by Nottingham Brewery at the Lion, Basford appropriately on Mon 23rd April - St.George's Day. The Nottingham Knights of Old will be jousting in the beer garden. The beer will also be available at the Plough, Radford & Black Swan, Edwinstowe over the weekend and rolled out to all their other pubs. facebook.com/sirblondeville
Green Dragon, Hucknall
has re-opened after a refurbishment. 6 real ales, many from local breweries. Lincoln Green will feature there when they start production.
Monkey Tree, West Bridgford
has had a refurbishment and has increased the number of handpumps. Part of the Great North Inns group this should be good for West Bridgford.
Nottingham Brewery is brewing Knights T'ale again with 10p from each pint going to the Notts Lincs Air Ambulance. They will also be doing a short run of St Georges Ale. It is hoped to showcase them both in true Knights in shining armour style at Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem with the help of The Knights Of Nottingham on 21st April and they always add entertainment to any event, particularly the drunken Knight (I'm sure he can't get into that state on Nottingham Ale!).

Online Guide & Data Base
Go to www.whatpub.org

Volunteer to survey a pub
Please send an email and we will contact you with details to:

We are currently creating a new online guide and pubs database. You can access this from the following link www.whatpub.org . Type Nottingham in the Town field and you will get a list of pubs, click on the pub to view details. The listing at the moment is incomplete many without much detail and a warning of being out of date, but we are working diligently to bring this up to a full list of Nottingham and district pubs (including non real ale pubs). You will notice it also serves Cheshire, Wigan, Chesterfield and parts of South & West London. The aim is for a common guide and data base across branch areas, and we hope that more branches will sign up to the system in the near future.
