Castle Rock Brewery was originally founded in an attempt to combat an industry dominated by monopolistic brewers.
Since our humble beginnings as a single pub operation, we have since grown into a diverse brewery, producing our own range of award-winning beers, as well as having over twenty unique pubs in the Castle Rock extended family.
Running great pubs and brewing great beer is still our humble life’s mission.
The Castle Rock family is made up of an eclectic mix of venues across the East Midlands, including city-centre craft beer bars, traditional country pubs, and community-led pubs in the leafy suburbs. Each Castle Rock pub is as unique as the next.
