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'.

Half-pint shared with Finn. A deep amber body under a beige head, rings of lace down the glass. Promising aromas of dried fruits. Nicely blended taste with moments of mild caramel malts, biscuit and ripe fruits. Rounded ending, bittersweet. Pretty good. (London, 11.02.2025).

Cask at the Falcon (JDW), Wycombe. Gold with a white head. Lemon and grapefruit with a growing floral note that does maybe get a little soapy at times. Tasty if a tad thin.

Cask at The Briar Rose, Birmingham. Misted gold with off-white head, good lacing. Tropical and pine noted aroma. Flavour has a bready malt and light fruit but a horrible herbal and buttery astringent bitter finish. Not that nice at all.
