Established in 2016, Moody Fox ceased trading as a microbrewery in 2022. One micropub is still owned: The Garrison, Mansfield.
Priors Well Brewery, Mansfield
Originally established in a National Trust building on the Clumber Park Estate, but brewing ceased there in 2014. The brewery was subsequently sold and the five-barrel plant modernised and relocated to a new site in Mansfield Woodhouse in 2016 with an on-site bar. They then relocated and opened their new brewpub on the ground floor of the former Mansfield Brewery on 19 July 2019. In May 2024 the landlord sold the building to West Notts College and Priors Well were given notice to vacate the premises. Despite the hope that they would find new premises, in August 2024 a Facebook post confirmed they had ceased trading.
