Description
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).

500ml bottle, drank at our AirBnB in Dorset. Clear amber appearance, white froth atop. Comes across quite old school in its IPA ways, with a nice honey like floral sweetness. Quite bitter and rugged tho. Ok.

Bottle from Salt Pig Too, Swanage. Suprisingly sweet caramel aroma. Some grass. Copper coloured. Foamy off-white head. Light-medium bitter. Gains bitterness. Grains. Quinine. Low key spice. A hint of sour berries. Marred by a buttery seam throughout. Light bodied. Slick if thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. Basic and flawed old school UK IPA.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Tewkesbury Winter Ales Festival, 7/2/2020. Near black in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Rich rum and spice aroma, some chocolate and vanilla sweetness, coffee beans, a touch of alcohol warmth and toastiness in the finish. Enjoyable.
