Heritage worth handing down

Shipstone’s Brewery

Nottingham

A city famous for its ale. A network of caves and a water profile perfect for brewing ensured that Nottingham built firm foundations using its natural resources to brew world-famous beers. The caves meant that production was all year round, the beers were stored in optimum temperatures.  Monks brewed in the abby and the rest of the caves hosted malt mills, breweries and cellars. The only city with a medieval ditty written about its ale, the only city with a yeast named after it. Discover the rich legacy of Shipstones Brewery, a key player in Nottingham’s brewing history. Shipstones Brewery has contributed immensely to this tradition, crafting unique flavours that reflect the city’s character.

Heritage

Our Heritage: Brewing Excellence Since 1852 Nottingham has long been renowned for its ale, and in 1852, James Shipstone set out to add his own legacy to the city’s proud brewing tradition. With a passion for quality and a determination to craft exceptional beers, James began brewing in Basford, a venture that quickly earned him a loyal following. Today, we carry forward this rich heritage, staying true to James’s vision of creating reputable beers that bring people together. Every pint we brew is a celebration of craftsmanship, history, and the enduring spirit of Nottingham.
