Boojum & Snark Brewery enhances craft beer production with Goddards’ new facility

Boojum & Snark Brewery is relocating its brewing operations to Goddards’ new brewery at Branstone.

This move is a significant step demonstrating the two breweries’ ongoing partnership, which has already resulted in the creation of a series of innovative craft beers under the “Brewed in the Bay” label.

This means that there will be no more onsite brewing at Boojum&Snark, but fear not, the High Street bar and art hub continues.

Jones-Evans: Thrilled to be expanding our partnership with Goddards

“We are thrilled to be expanding our partnership with Goddards Brewery by relocating our brewing operations to their facility.

“This move will allow us to focus on broadening our creative and cultural offering in Sandown while leveraging Goddards’ expertise and resources to continue to produce innovative craft beer at the Branstone site.”

A synergistic relationship
Over the past two years, Boojum and Goddards have cultivated a synergistic relationship, characterised by a shared passion for innovation and a commitment to producing high-quality craft beers.

Goddards head brewer Josh Davies and Boojum’s Julie Jones-Evans innovative partnership has led to the development of a series of modern craft beers under the “Brewed in the Bay” label.
