Description
Co-Founder and CEO Andy first found the building that spawned Powder Monkey Brewing in 2019. An Historic Naval Gunpowder Store in Priddy's Hard, Gosport, it had remained empty and partially derelict for over fifty years.
Despite its shocking state, the vision was born, and the work began on planning the brewery and developing the brand. The name Powder Monkey relates to the boys who carried the gunpowder to the guns on board ships.
Having recruited Mark, our Head Brewer to the team, Andy & Mark spent many hours planning the working side of the brewery, specifying the equipment and ensuring it was as efficient and productive as possible.
Roll forward to July 2021 and the new facility was up and running and the first beers brewed. The brewery building contains the production facility as well as a visitor centre, shop and tasting bar.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#86. Final beer of my last full day on the Isle. Sticky-sweet darker golden effort, quite strong, with the culmination of the aforementioned giving it initial spirit-like qualities. Its aroma has most to with this, in taste there's more of an associated fruitiness to be found, followed by a late bitterness. Found in a packed Duke Of York in Cowes on a Thursday night.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#85. Imported from Southampton. Very mildly hazed golden and a fuller tropical fruit aroma, with the more champagne element in taste very much evident, but also neutralising the aforementioned to quite an extent. It remains decent though with an easy enough texture.
