The Brewery has moved up several gears in the past 12 months & is now growing at an alarming rate!
We as a team have grown with the brewery. Started in 2008 with Directors James Farran, Andy Baker & Meyrick Kirk the brewery now has a fulltime drayman, a head brewer, a managing director & soon to be further additions to the team.
We are a brewery with an extreme passion & a strong identity, our beers are unapologetically flavour forward in nature, hop & malt laden beers that challenge today's modern beer lover. Beers with heart, soul & raging personality.
In the coming years we plan to continue to grow by fervently pushing the boundaries of what is possible when brewing beer, to excite you the deserving beer connoisseur who should settle for nothing less than than beers that excite & ensare your senses. We invest heavily in our beers with LOTS of the very best ingredients, why settle for beers that don't?

Cask@Southampton Arms, London. Amber deep colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, some dark fruits, wood and slight earthy notes as well. Flavour is wood, fruits, mild roast and some slight earthyness. Black bitter, rather than Black IPA, atleast the flavour reminds more of a black bitter...

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London. Pours dark brown with a small, off-white head. Aroma is pretty weak, if you want to know the truth. Some slight hints of fruits. Flavor is light sweet, some faint roasted malts, mild grass. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Bittersweet finish, ashy dark malts, a bit of earth. Decent.
