Hardy and Hanson's Kimberley Brewery A well respected family firm with a long history, it was bought by independent brewer Greene King in 2006. Sadly, this has resulted in the cessation of brewing on the site, ending a long history of independent brewers in Nottinghamshire. The flag is now basically being flown by micro-breweries.

Nelson and Railway, Kimberley Often considered the brewery tap of the nearby Hardy and Hanson Victorian brewery. Acquired by Greene King last year whose moneymen promptly consigned a perfectly viable brewery and their Kimbereley Ales to history. The pub still worth visiting though.
