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'.

Bottle from the brewery and drunk at home. Black beer lasting bubbly tan head. Intense chocolate and liquorice aroma. Thick and oily in the mouth. Virtually no condition. Some dark syrup flavour. More liquorice and chocolate and dark malts in the mouth. Not much fruit not much hop. It’s a thick oily malty molasses and liquorice impy stout. OK but the condition is almost non existant.

Bottle from the brewery and drunk at home. Hazy gold lasting bubbly white head. Some citrus hops on the aroma bit earthy. OK stronger golden ale in the mouth. Some peach fruit. Some bitterness and some citrus fruits. Not much condition. Having had the other beers from this brewery, this is the best so far. Hops are decent. Just needs a bit of refining. But it’s early days for the brewery. It has the potential to be a decent hoppy golden ale.

Bottle from the brewery and drunk at home. Clear red russet colour lasting beige head. Fruity best bitter malty aroma. It’s a pretty unsubtle best bitter. I guess it’s a new brewery and they are finding their way. It’s a little rustic maybe. A little bit of hop presence on the finish. Kinda needs a bit more refinement.
