Description
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'.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Clear amber beer, small tan head. Light dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Thinnish malts, a little caramel, touch of toffee. Nicely rich ripe fruits. Light dry finish. Thin but tasty affair.

Half-pint, cask ale at George Inn, Southwark. Clear warm golden body, filmy layer, clingy lacing. Inviting smell of ripe fruits and earthy malts. Hop fruity flavour including ripe orange, with light malty sweetness beneath. Drying malt-fruity close. Quite alright. (Southwark, Greater London 07.11.2022)
