At the heart of the sleepy historic village of Southwick in south Hampshire stands the scheduled ancient monument that is Southwick Brewhouse.

This early Victorian brewery last saw active service in 1957 when master brewer Dick Olding hung up his keys on the hook for the last time at the ripe old age of 81. It was he who had crafted the ales to supply The Golden Lion public house next door, where Generals Eisenhower and Montgomery took sustenance as they planned the D-Day landings in 1944.

The brewhouse remains in tact and complete in every aspect since Dick locked up for good. But new life is being breathed into the building as it re-opens as a retail emporium boasting a comprehensive range of beers and ciders of local, national and international distinction. Suthwyk ales, made from barley grown on nearby Portsdown Hill, are among those sold.

History exudes from every corner of the brewhouse and visitors can combine shopping with a trip back in time. Follow the brewing process as it was in Dick's time with the aid of flow diagrams and annotated posters! The grist mill, mash tun, copper boiler and 145-year-old steam engine are among the features that excite enthusiasts. It's easy to imagine Dick's day from early morning when the boiler got up steam, to late evening when the beer finally settled in the two fermentation vessels. The whole village knew which days were brewing days as the wonderful, malty aromas drifted gently out through the louvred ventilation into the streets.

To complement the range of bottled beers, cask ales are available to fill four and eight pint containers, with 18-pint minipins and 36-pint polypins for the larger event.
