Goddards Brewery has been acquired by Powder Monkey Group Limited and renamed Powder Monkey “The Home of Goddards”.
Goddards is the oldest brewery on the Isle of Wight and one of the first independent craft beer producers in the UK. They have been brewing fine real ales (craft beers) since 1993.
Originally at Barnsley Farm near Ryde, in 2023 the brewery moved to a bespoke built brewing centre near Arreton. Complete with the brewery restaurant and The Deck Restaurant.
Powder Monkey “The Home of Goddards” will continue to brew and sell the Goddards range alongside it’s current portfolio.
Andy Burdon, CEO of Powder Monkey Group, said,
“We opened our facilities in Priddy’s Hard, Gosport in 2021. Since then, Powder Monkey beer has been flowing in the Tap House, at events and our award-winning beers are available in can and keg for a wide range of stockists.”
Andy continues,
“We are delighted that Goddard’s is now part of the group, it adds cask and bottled beer to our portfolio as well as the Heritage associated with the brand.
Anthony Goddard said,
“We are delighted to join the family of coastal breweries in the Powder Monkey Group brand portfolio where we join strong brands with equally strong heritages. Since our modest start, we have brewed about 13.5 million pints of Goddards beer over 32 years.”
