About
Southbourne Ales are designed as a complete range of traditional ales with something for everyone’s taste. Quality beer that is just what you expect ranging from a light ale to an oatmeal stout that all leave you wanting another.

The brewery is also working on a second brand Tingay’s which will be producing a range of beers that are more modern and new to the UK spectrum. First experiments with an APA have been successful with more styles coming soon.
