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'.

Cask at EBF Nov 2021. Citrus and malts aroma. Cloudy brown-gold. Foamy blotchy off-white head. Medium bitter. Herby. Low key resin. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. Pleasent hoppy stuff. But basic.

Interesting one. Can’t quite put my finger on the flavor - I think I’m tasting coffee (albeit not bitter) and maybe some roasted malt? Hard to place but solid.

Okay deep amber body and disappointing foam. Kind of a floral molasses aroma that's quite nice. Taste is mellow caramel, sweet molasses, ends smooth and mostly full, slightly bitter finish Not bad.

Weak gold and minimal foam. Soft honey hop aroma, okay. Taste is modest cracker, soft honey, bitter hop finish and slightly dry. Okay but I think the bitterness could be toned down.

Pours a hazy orange gold colour with a small white head. The aroma is fruity, grapefruit and some tropical notes. A moderately sweet taste taste, citrus flavours with a mild bitterness.
