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'.
