About
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.

Cask at Awakening Festival, Gosport. Malt and berries for aroma. Cloudy red tinged brown. Bubbly off-white head. Rye and berries. Underlying nougat sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Not bad just doesn't do too much for me (others were more severe).

Drunken Sailor from Powder Monkey Brewing Co.

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8.5
Can ordered from the brewery. Coffee aroma with an evident lactose injection. Dark. You know, stygian. Creamy beige head soon recedes. Coffee is certainly the focal point - rich with a berry edge. However there is also sugary creamy streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick with a touch of cream. Average carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Well... an enjoyable Coffee milk stout but part of me feels it's a tad OTT and could do with some more balance.

BBQ Pitmaster Rye IPA from Powder Monkey Brewing Co.
4 years ago
6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Can ordered from Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Aroma has that distinctive rye smell with a touch if fruit and basement. Cloudy orange-btown. Fluffy foamy white head. Medium-heavy bitter. A big dose of earthy rye plus resin. A slight citrus tang. Spice (although that would be the rye). Medium bodied. Slick. Average prickly carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. No complaints here in that the went all in with the rye. Perhaps rough and ready but no skimping. I wonder how it would go with some smokey BBQ?

Drop Anchor from Powder Monkey Brewing Co.

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
Can ordered from Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Aroma had juicy citrus. Lightly hazy dark gold. Thick foamy white head. Light-medium bitter with a fruity citrus edge. With the resinous element these combine for marmalade effect. Some sugary sweetness but this remains bitter. Light bodied. Thin. Average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable.

Explosion IPA from Powder Monkey Brewing Co.

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 8
Can ordered from Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Aroma is grainy with a jammy resin underbelly. Opaque amber. Frothy blotchy translucent white head. Medium-heavy bitter. There was a slight pause before it came through. Resinous. Grainy. Quinine. A hint of jam. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice enough but basic... there's no depth to it.
