Known for a full range of styles

Dancing Man Brewery is a brewpub in the Wool House in Southampton, a Grade I listed 14th-century wool store and the city's maritime museum until 2011. The company dates from October 2011; brewing began at a nearby sister pub, ended there in 2014 and moved into the Wool House around 2015. Head brewer Aidan Lavin brews IPAs, lagers, stouts, mixed-fermentation sours and barrel-aged beers, all unfined, with almost all of it sold at the brewery's two venues, the Wool House and Raven & Bine.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
