About
Southwark Brewing Company was founded in 2014 by Peter Jackson and lifelong friend Andy Nichol.

Over 6 years, we have seen a lot of change and development. The brewery now has 6 fermenting vessels up from the 3 original ones, including a 20 Barrel FV commissioned in February 2020, in advance of a BIG sales drive (that wasn't well timed....)

We have brewed over 100 different beers and we have enjoyed every single one and there are a lot more to come.

Their keg range appears under the name 'Big Bear Brewery'.

Bottled. Hazy pale yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma is floral, bready, some grassy, herbal notes. Flavour is citrus, some fruits, bready, a bit grainy and some grassy notes. A bit like the Gold, but this one has a bit more bitterness to it.

Sampled cask and bottle side by side. Rating is about the 'preferred) version of cask. Pours clear, copper. Scent is a bit caramelly. Soft and gentle. Taste is full, crisp caramel maltyness. Not the longest finish, but a great drinkin' beer. The bottled version was - as to be expected - a bit less sweet, and higher in carbonation

Pours unclear, amberblonde. Scent is raw maltyness, gently. taste is sweet, bit candy-like. Red fruits ( due to the hops, I suppose). Malty finish. Great fun !
