Powder Monkey Brewing Co.

Co-Founder and CEO Andy first found the building that spawned Powder Monkey Brewing in 2019. An Historic Naval Gunpowder Store in Priddy’s Hard, Gosport, it had remained empty and partially derelict for over fifty years.

Despite its shocking state, the vision was born, and the work began on planning the brewery and developing the brand. The name Powder Monkey relates to the boys and girls who carried the gunpowder to the guns on board ships.

Having recruited Mark, our Head Brewer to the team, Andy & Mark spent many hours planning the working side of the brewery, specifying the equipment and ensuring it was as efficient and productive as possible.

Roll forward to July 2021 and the new facility was up and running and the first beers brewed. The brewery building contains the production facility as well as a visitor centre, shop and tasting bar.

Powder Monkey are proud to sponsor Fleetlands FC at their Home Ground, Powder Monkey Park

Pure Cariad

“We love the most pure and natural products, and wish to share our philosophy and experience in aromatherapy with you.”

In Welsh Cariad is the word for love.

Pure Cariad was created from a passion for natural candles with pure essential oils, filling your home with scents that can lift the mood, relax and balance the mind and soothe the body.

Smell is often an under used sense. However our sense of smell can enable us to recall memories of people, places, special times in our lives and favourite foods as well as encouraging our bodies and mind to relax, unwind and restore calm. Using essential oils enables the candles to fill your space with beautiful aromas, without the use of harsh chemicals, and create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation, focus, mood lifting or of course, a peaceful sleep.

With over 17 years of Aromatherapy experience the founder of Pure Cariad, Nic Prichard, has created a range of candles and complimentary use products to reflect these well being states as well as products to reflect each season which can be used to bring the outside in or create your favourite season whatever the weather outside.

All candles made at the studio are hand made using fine quality soy wax, wooden wicks which crackle very gently to add to the ambiance and pure essential oils. The aroma is subtle but rich in natural well being properties, and contain no chemically enhanced scent.
