Powder Monkey Group Acquires Goddards Brewery

Powder Monkey Group from Gosport has announced the acquisition of Goddards Brewery on the Isle of Wight.

Goddards is the oldest brewery on the Island and one of the first independent craft beer producers in the UK.

The company has 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 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 & keg for a wide range of stockists.

“We are delighted that Goddards 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 added:

“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.”

The move brings the group's total number of brewing facilities to 4, together with 3 Hospitality outlets in the UK and Australia

Mike McGeever, Chairman PMG, said:

“Absolutely delighted to welcome Anthony and the team at Goddards to the Powder Monkey Group.

"This acquisition complements the current UK offering and sufficiently enhances the Group's capacity and capability."
