There are two breweries in Southampton itself:

The Dancing Man brewery which started at The Platform Tavern but in 2015 moved to The Wool House, now renamed as The Dancing Man. Beers are still available at both venues, but are rarely available elsewhere as the new venue has proved to be very successful.

The story is that the couple behind the Dancing Man / Platform Tavern have split up. She is keeping the Platform Tavern, and intends to start her own brewery there, as the old equipment is still in place. He has got the Dancing Man, which will carry on as it is.

Brewhouse & Kitchen opened in 2015 in the University quarter as another branch of the Brewhouse & Kitchen chain which started in the White Swan, a former JD Wetherspoon pub in Portsmouth in 2013, but which has quickly spread to 14 brewpubs nationally.
