About us

Traditional Phipps and NBC beers brewed from the original recipes under the supervision of original Bridge Street men and our partners at the Grainstore Brewery in Rutland .Turning back the hands of time with every pint pulled.       

In 2004  brothers Alaric and Quentin Neville started work on relaunching Phipps NBC beers to the East Midlands pub trade. After four years research and  support of several key ex employees of Phipps NBC from the 50's to the early 70's, the dream became a reality. 

We also would like to acknowledge members of the Phipps family for their time, effort and encouragement.

Today Phipps beers can once again be found across several counties and can be found in numerous pubs and clubs.
