Castle Rock
Castle Rock has been a household name in Nottingham for a lot longer than it’s been a brewery. Founder Chris Holmes, an ex-CAMRA chairman, opened The Old Kings Arms in Newark in 1977, and in doing so also founded parent company Tynemill, which would be rebranded as Castle Rock in 2007. Between 1977 and 1998, Castle Rock amassed an impressive portfolio of 12 pubs, an estate that felt worthy of its own brewery. Ever since, Castle Rock has been brewing an eclectic mix of modern and traditional styles across can, keg, cask and bottle.
