BREWERY
Old Basford is the home of our Little Star Brewery, a tiny 10 barrell plant brewing the finest Shipstone’s Heritage Range. Started in 2015 and now with a passionate and talented team of four, we’re pushing the boundaries of our kit and developing all methods of our brew process. We are proud to protect Nottingham’s brewing heritage and aim to preserve it for future generations by brewing good, honest beer.
BREWING HERITAGE
Nottingham has always been famous for its beer, stretching back to medieval times. Also known as ‘The City of Caves’ here was a perfect place to brew and store Nottingham Ale. In the caves are over 20 Malt Kilns, brewhouses and storage cellars, hand carved out of the sandstone outcrops. The temperature and consistency of the limestone enabled beer to be brewed all year round using the soft water filtered through the rock. The famous folksong ‘Nottingham Ale’ spread the word all over the country.
