Meet the local independents: Neon Raptor

Craft Beer, from tank to glass – Neon Raptor 

Neon Raptor is all about producing fantastic beers for everyone to enjoy. They started several years ago by brewing some very small batches on the kitchen hob. In 2015 they entered the Brewdog Homebrew Competition to see what people thought. Then they won! This gave these talented craft brewers the encouragement they needed to set up for real.

After producing small batches for local pubs and tap rooms they finally moved into Sneinton Market in October 2017 and got their first beers, from their very own on-site brew kit, out on sale in March 2018. They’ve now had an established tap room in Sneinton Market Avenues for several years and have lots of outdoor seating so you can enjoy their beers freshly brewed on-site, which makes all the difference.

Whilst the model of craft brewers selling direct from the brewery is commonplace in the USA, Neonraptor was a first for Nottingham on this scale. The brewery always has something exciting on the go, regular collaborations with other brewers, tap takeovers from other elite breweries, and barrel-aged special editions.

This is beer at its freshest, from tank to glass in only a few yards. You can’t get more local than that.
