Discover the extraordinary beers of Neon Raptor Brewing Co., one of Nottingham's most creative independent craft breweries, renowned for its intensely aromatic Hazy IPAs, extravagant Fruited Sours, indulgent Stouts and imaginative limited-edition releases. Established in 2016, Neon Raptor began as a small nomadic brewing operation, producing its early beers at breweries across Derbyshire and Staffordshire before establishing a permanent home in Nottingham's vibrant Sneinton Market. The brewery began producing beer on its own equipment in 2018, opening a taproom that quickly became a popular destination for local craft beer enthusiasts. Led by co-owners Josh Mellor and Tom Ainsley, Neon Raptor has developed a distinctive identity built around creativity, experimentation and a shared enthusiasm for dinosaurs, retro video games and nostalgic pop culture. Its colourful can artwork, playful beer names and willingness to explore unusual flavour combinations have helped establish the brewery as a recognisable name in Britain's independent craft beer scene. From carefully balanced everyday Pale Ales to extravagant dessert-inspired creations, Neon Raptor approaches brewing with an infectious sense of fun while maintaining a commitment to quality ingredients and exceptional flavour. Based in the heart of Nottingham's creative quarter, the brewery continues to produce an exciting mixture of modern and traditional styles, alongside adventurous collaborations with respected breweries from across the UK and internationally.
