Brewery sets its sights on expansion after smashing crowdfunding target
Staggeringly Good, in St George's Industrial Estate, Rodney Road, Southsea, started in 2015, brewing part-time on borrowed equipment, labelling bottles by hand in an old shipping unit.
Three years on, it has established itself as one of England's top 20 breweries (Untappd) and has grown into a 11,000L brewery producing over 250,000 pints in the last 24 months.
