About
We’re a small brewery based near Poole in East Dorset. We take our name from the nearby world famous Sandbanks Peninsula known for its outstanding golden beaches.

We take pride in sourcing our raw materials and services locally (where possible) and donating our used grains to local farms. We like to keep things simple at the brewery and offer a small range of high quality, distinctive cask ales for you to enjoy.

The location was previously used by Bournemouth Brewing (2013-2018).
