Located in the Incuhive Space for start-up new businesses within IBM's Hursley Park near Winchester, Growling Gibbon was one of the very smallest commercial brewers in the County and focussed on American style IPAs with their citrusy, fruity and piney character that comes from using punchy American hops.

Beers like Tune In Freak Out, Disconnect the Dots and Detective of Perspective were found in specialist craft beer bars as well as in canned form in various delicatessants and independent shops.
However, a recent beer, 3600 Feet, moved away from this style, being a dark coffee stout using Guatemalan beans from their next door neighbours at Hursley, Hocombe Coffee.

The brewery was formed in early 2022 after a visit to Borneo by the owner who decided to change a career in the development of artificial intelligence for something more rewarding. Thus was formed Growling Gibbon with the slogan of Craft Beer for Humans.
With a strong environmental philosophy 5% of the brewery's profits went to the World Land Trust, an international conservation charity that protects the world’s most biologically significant and threatened habitats.
Sadly after such a short life, Growling Gibbon is now closing its doors.
