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!). Phil Darby. |

Online
Guide & Data Base |

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

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.
