Introducing the Castle Rock “Pub Tour” T-Shirt Challenge! Complete the tour to get your hands on one of our brand-new, super soft “Pub Tour” T-Shirts. Inspired by everyone’s favourite wardrobe piece – that T-Shirt you’ve had for years, featuring your favourite band, and all the tour dates and venues they played at.
Well, it’s just like that, but this one reveals a timeline of Castle Rock pubs*, starting with the Lincolnshire Poacher, opening under Castle Rock management in 1989, all the way through to Yarn, our pub in the Theatre Royal & Concert Hall which first opened its doors in 2017.
Full details on how to complete the Castle Rock “Pub Tour” T-Shirt Challenge below. Or, if you want to skip all the ‘hard work’, they are also available to purchase from our shop here.
To receive a free Castle Rock “Pub Tour” T-Shirt, you will first have to complete the Pub Tour Stamp Card in the Castle Rock App. If you haven’t already got the free Castle Rock App, you’ll need to download it first, here.
The Pub Tour Stamp Card Challenge kicks off on Wednesday 1st October 2025. From then, you’ll have until 30th September 2026 to complete the Stamp Card.
You can join the Pub Tour Challenge at any time, but obviously, the sooner you start, the more time you will have to visit all 16 pubs. (Scroll down for the full list.)
You’ve got the app. Now, all you need to do is visit your first Castle Rock pub. The stamp card will appear once you’ve made your first purchase in a Castle Rock pub – don’t forget, you’ll need to Check In so that the order is linked to your app account.
You’ll find your Stamp Card in the same place as you find all of your perks – it’s also where you view your Points Card.
Every time you visit a new Castle Rock pub, a new stamp will appear on the Stamp Card. Once the Stamp Card is full, you’ll be able to fill out a form which will let you choose what colour and what size T-Shirt you want. (Choose from stone grey or a distressed look acid-wash in black.)
If you want to check which pubs you have left to visit, simply scroll down to the bottom of the Castle Rock App home screen. There you’ll see a row of Castle Rock pubs, letting you know which ones you have left to visit. If you tap on them, it will take you to that pub’s page, where you will be able to see its opening times and address, menus, & everything else you might need to plan your visit!
Any questions, let us know. Drop us a DM on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Or if you’re old school, just ask at the bar, or give us a call on 0115 784 2980* (*office hours only).

Sadly, at this time, our tenanted houses our unable to offer the Castle Rock loyalty scheme and therefore you won’t collect stamps when you visit them. That said, they’re well worth a visit!
*Please note: the Castle Rock “Pub Tour” T-Shirts feature a full list of all Castle Rock Brewery managed houses which, at the time of print, are all still open and available to visit on your pub tour. Tenanted houses have not been included as unfortunately we are unable to offer our app-based loyalty scheme at these venues.
