Genesis - Bedford Stout 4.1% ABV

Have you tried our award winning stout?

A smooth, creamy stout where roasted barley and oat malt are carefully blended with English bittering hops. Roasted aromas and a dry taste lead to a mellow, moreish finish. A unique recipe, brewed in small batches, fresh out of Bedford.

The Playwright is the only place in Nottingham that you can get this brilliant stout, so pop in today and give it a try!

Available on happy hour for £4 Sun-Thurs, 12-7pm 🍻

Perfect companion alongside the live sports and good food, especially in these colder, cosier months 🏉⚽🍔

Noggin Pale Ale 4.2% ABV 🍺 get it while it lasts!

If you haven't tried our most recent seasonal draught rotation, Noggin Pale Ale, it's nearly out so grab a pint now while you can! Once it's gone it's gone... For now

Something both new and classic at the same time and perfect for autumn 🍂 🍺

To celebrate 150-years since Charles Wells started brewing in Bedford, Brewpoint back a much-loved b**r from Wells’ past to mark the occasion. Originally launched in the 1960s, this is a modern take on the b**r and a celebration of heritage, character and timeless taste. Eervescent with vibrant citrus and floral all-British hops, with a slight malt sweetness, balanced by moderate bitterness making this pale ale eminently drinkable

Try it now and keep an eye out for our next special pint on rotation coming very soon... 🍻
