BREWERY OF THE MONTH SEPTEMBER 🍻
Published on
The Idea was Simple
Our Story
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.
The brewery
How we do things
The Castle Rock brewing team are meticulous in their respect of time-honoured brewing, yet are driven by a love of experimentation and adventure. Our brewery is a unique space where decades of experience and high standards meet a restless energy and fervent passion for beer.
With our roots in cask beer, Castle Rock’s major strength lies in producing consistent, flavourful cask conditioned beer, from the most traditional East Midlands-style bitters to hazy pales saturated with hops. We’ve been producing beers in keg and can since 2017 and love the vast spectrum of styles and flavours it allows us to explore.
We have our own on-site Brewery Tap Room which features in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide
We have produced some great-tasting beers that are well-known for their consistency, flavour & aroma.
Classic Bitters
Zesty IPAs
Malty Festives
Colourful Amber's
Beautiful Golds
Perfect Pales
& more
Great Choices & on our Real Cask Ales pumps throughout August
Plus Special Guest Ales on our Lindr lines too.
Remember, buy 9 real ale pints & get your 10th free.
