Moles Brewery

Moles Brewery is a brewery established in 1985. It produces Real Ales at their facility in Wiltshire, South West England.

Moles Brewery was originally a mineral water company in rural Wiltshire, which developed specific real ales to diversify their business.

A custom-built 10 barrel plant was installed in the brewhouse at Bowerhill, Melksham.

At the same time the new business was named Moles Brewery, inspired by the new owner's nickname.

Moles Cask Bitter was the brewery’s first real ale offering, an all-malt brew, with no supplemental sugars added.

In October 1985 Moles Brewery purchased the freehold of The Rising Sun on Bowden Hill in Lacock.

A decision was taken in the early 1990s that would provide Moles Brewery with its own tied estate. Nine pubs were acquired.

A new brand launch came in 1995, with the introduction of Black Rat cider.

Answer 4

Nethergate Brewery

Nethergate Brewery was established in 1986 in Clare, Suffolk, England by former Head Brewer Ian Hornsey and his business partner Dick Burge. In 2005 the brewery site was moved across the county border to Pentlow in Essex. In 2010 the brewery was sold to anonymous buyers.

The brewery originally concentrated on cask ale and for a while only brewed Best Bitter, based on traditional recipes for the Yorkshire bitter style. Over the next four years this beer was joined by two other brews; firstly the Old Growler Porter, and then the IPA (in this case, IPA is also claimed to stand for "Ian's Personal Ale", in honour of the Head Brewer). Nethergate's interest in traditional ingredients also saw the creation of two of their most distinctive beers - Umbel Ale, and the stronger Umbel Magna - through the use of a traditional ingredient which had been ignored by brewers for many years: coriander. Nethergate has since ventured in the bottled beer market, with Old Growler and Umbel ale being especially prevalent in the more specialist off licences and Tesco stores in the south east.

In October 2010, Burge retired and the brewery was sold to a consortium including ex-Adnams employees Rob Flanagan, Mark Holmes and Mike Atkinson. Nethergate continued its positive growth, winning the Good Pub Guide 'Brewery of the Year' title in 2011 and in 2012 underwent a rebranding exercise which emphasised the brewery's new location across the county border and promoted the 'Growler Brewery' name on pump clips and bottle labels. As part of this exercise two of the brewery's regular beers, Suffolk County Best Bitter and Augustinian Ale, were discontinued from the core range.

On 18 March 2014 the brewery went into administration and its future looked bleak, however a consortium led by founder Dick Burge purchased the ailing brewery in April 2014 and brewing has continued since, with a return to the 'Nethergate Brewery' name and a primary focus on selling beer to local free houses.

The names of most of the beer produced at the Northumberland Brewery is named after local people and places, such as Mackem's Shovel Ale and Holy Island Ale, after Sunderland A.F.C. supporters and the island of Holy Island respectively. The brewery also names a few of its beers after political issues, such as Talivan (after speed camera vans - a play on the Taliban), Highway Robbery (also after speed cameras) and hung parliament, with a pump clip showing members of parliament with nooses around their necks.

Answer 7

Nottingham Brewery

Nottingham Brewery, is a microbrewery located in Nottingham, England. The name Nottingham Brewery refers to two different breweries in the Nottingham area. The first was established in 1847 and situated on Mansfield Road, next door to The Rose of England public house. The Brewery was demolished to make for York House, which itself was demolished in 2016. The current brewery was established in 2001 in Radford.

Philip Darby and Niven Balfour established the brewery after selling their remaining half of the Castle Rock Brewery to co-owners Tynemill in 2001. They had previously established the Castle Rock Brewery under the name Bramcote Brewery in 1996. After rapid expansion they moved to larger premises next to the Vat & Fiddle public house in 1998 and sold 50% to Tynemill, owners of the Vat & Fiddle.

In 2001 Philip and Niven decided to go it alone once more and sold their remaining share in Castle Rock to Tynemill. Meanwhile, they purchased the Plough public house in Radford, Nottingham and spent several months converting the outbuildings to a ten barrel plant. The Plough had previously been owned by the older Nottingham Brewery and it was decided to resurrect the name and brands which had become available for use once more. The original brewery had closed in 1952 after being taken over by Tennant Brothers who in turn were bought out by Whitbread. In Witbread's subsequent takeover by Interbrew the names were no longer owned by any brewing company and were adopted for the 21st century revival.

The brewery was situated at 52/56 Mansfield Road, Nottingham where York House now stands.The origins of the Brewery can be traced back to at least 1847 when James Long was listed as an East India and Pale Ale Brewer on the site. He sold the business in 1875 and after passing through several ownerships it was purchased in 1879 by Edward Wheeler Field.

The brewery became a registered company in 1887 at which time it was recorded as owning many public houses of which several are still standing. For example:-

In 1887 it was decided to completely rebuild the premises to make it one of the best equipped in the country. Wm. Bradford of Carlton Chambers in London designed the handsome new building in a Grecian style. Overall the site occupied 21,000 sq. ft.

In 1900 the Wellow Brewery Company of Messrs. Lewis and Barker was acquired, along with 19 tied houses. This was located on Wellowgate in Grimsby and it continued to operate until it was closed in 1944. After this date the site appears to have operated as a depot for the company as indicated on a bottle label we have uncovered.

The Old Cannon Brewery

The Old Cannon Brewery is a brewpub in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, UK. They have a roster of regular cask ales that are produced year round, as well as several popular seasonal beers that are produced at certain times of the year. It is one of two breweries in Bury St Edmunds, the other being the Greene King Brewery.

This Victorian property was originally home to the Cannon Brewery, which closed during World War I. It was later home to a Greene King pub called The St Edmunds Head, which closed in the early 1990s. The St Edmundsbury Record Office shows Pat and Liz Spillane purchased the property from Greene King in 1994, renovated the buildings, and reopened as The Old Cannon Brewery in December 1999.

The seven barrel brewplant is situated in a room above the bar, by the bar and in the pub cellars.

The names of many of the beers maintain a British nautical theme. For example, The Gunners' Daughter is reference to the practice of disciplining sailors with a lashing received while leaning over the ship's cannons, known as 'kissing the Gunner's Daughter'. Powder Monkey is a term for the young boys who carried the gunpowder on the ships and Black Pig was a derogatory term for Spanish Galleons.
