22 micropubs in Mansfield, Hucknall, Sutton and Kirkby that are popular with ale fans

The rise of the micropub has been one of the key elements of the overall growth in popularity in real ale in the country in recent years.

Some sources now suggest that there are now more than 500 micropubs across the UK – and plenty have sprung up in Nottinghamshire.

Micropubs are often owned and operated by individuals and are known for their cozy, intimate atmosphere.

They also often feature a selection of locally-brewed beers and ciders, supporting local breweries and producers.

We researched popular micropubs in Mansfield, Sutton, Kirkby and Hucknall and these were 22 that came up across the four areas.
