Exactly four weeks from now, you could be standing trackside at Nottingham Racecourse, soaking up the summer sun, listening to live music, and holding a freshly poured, ice-cold pint of Shippo's at our very own Beer Festival.

Or... you could be sitting at home wishing you’d bought tickets before they sold out.

Don't leave it to chance. The countdown is officially on, and tickets are flying. Do your future self a favour and lock it in right now!

Granddad drank it, Dad drank it, and there’s a reason it’s still their favourite today. 🍺

With Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to sort the old man out with the ultimate taste of home. We are officially dropping a limited number of legendary Shipstone’s Mild mini casks just in time for Father's Day!

Nothing says "Thanks, Dad" quite like the smooth, dark, comforting taste of a proper Nottingham Mild.

Want the ultimate Shippos throwback?

Grab a mini cask of Original Bitter alongside your Mild and let him pour a classic "Mix" right at home. It’s the taste of a proper Nottingham pub, delivered straight to his favorite armchair.

Pre-order yours now before they fly out! 👇

Take a close look at that classic Shipstone’s signage.

For decades, "Shippo’s" was the heart of Nottingham’s brewing scene, and this photo captures that era perfectly, complete some very classic 70's Derby Road curb appeal.

Most people know the pub today, but how many of you remember it looking like this?

Drop your memories in the comments, let's see who remembers the old facade! 👇

The next festival is calling! 🚚💨

We’ve barely washed the festival mud off our boots from the weekend, and we’re already pitching up for the next big one. Today, the team is down in Ruddington setting up for this year's Ruddfest!

If you’ve never been, this is Ruddington village's epic annual beer festival, and it is an absolute must-visit. The entire village comes alive with over 100 cask ales and 40 ciders pouring, alongside fantastic live music, great food, and tonnes of family fun.

We are incredibly proud to be part of the setup again this year, making sure the beer is perfectly tapped and conditioned for the weekend ahead.

Who is heading down to Ruddfest this year? Tag your festival crew in the comments! 👇🎪☀️

Back to the Brewery! 🍺

Today the focus shifts from festival fields back to the brewhouse, as we get busy racking fresh, bright beer into casks and preparing for the busy weeks ahead. There’s nothing quite like the sight and smell of fresh Shippo’s being prepped for delivery.

Our order lines are fully open today, so if your cellars are looking a little low after the long Bank Holiday weekend, get in touch and we’ll get you topped up.

What’s your go-to Shippo’s cask? 👇🍻

🎪 What goes up, must come down... 🎪

We had an incredible weekend, but the work doesn’t stop when the music ends! The team is currently on-site tackling the massive festival takedown, packing up the bars and loading the vans.

Because the crew is hard at work in the fields, we are closed today. Normal service will resume tomorrow, but in the meantime, you don't have to wait to get your orders in!

You can still place your orders through any of our usual digital channels:

Huge thanks to everyone who grabbed a pint of Shippo's this weekend. Normal trade will resume tomorrow but for now, wish our sore legs luck! 🍻🚚
