Meet the Brewery
 
Northdown brewery was founded in 2018 by Husband & Wife duo Jonny & Katie Spanjar who were drawn to Margate for its coastal vibes, embracing community and bountiful history.  Their hard work truly paid off with recent industry gongs for their two most loved beers - The ‘Taste of Kent Awards’ taking home Best Kent Beer 2020 for ‘Pale Ale Mary’ Pale Ale and winning praise from the cask ale aficionados CAMRA with a medal for ‘Merry Margate’ Golden Session Ale in the Kent CAMRA festival 2019.
NorthDown brew award winning beers with a focus on hop forward modern ales, producing a variety of beers spanning cask perfect best bitters, modern hazy pale ales and flavour forward IPAs.
The Northdown team believe Beer should look as good as it tastes, so they work with artist pals to design the artwork for all their beer releases. 
​Colabs are equally important too, working & developing beers with other local manufacturers & designers to build relationships within the community.
