Small Batch, Giant Heart

Ascapart Beer & Coffee is the UK's only combined small batch brewery and coffee roastery. Our name comes from Southampton's biggest and wildest story - The Legend of Sir Bevis Of Hampton & Ascapart The Giant. Reflecting Ascapart's 30 feet in height is our giant dedication to creating delicious beer and coffee to bring people together as storytelling always has.

Inspired by Southampton's biggest story

Popular in Europe and beyond for a millenia and recorded in Old Norse, Welsh, Irish, German and [aparently the first non-religious text to be written in] Yiddish, the legend of Bevis & Ascapart is one of the most important non-Arthurian romances in Middle English. The chronicles tell of their adventures and heroic deeds - and most importantly the founding of Southampton!

Historic landmarks all over Southampton pay homage to Bevis & Ascapart, including the two lions that guard the medieval Bargate (Sir Bevis fought a couple of lions to defend his wife - who was not to be reckoned with herself - Pincess Josian), the restored clock bells in the remains of the bombed out Holyrood Church are struck by figurines of Ascapart and Sir Bevis, and Arundel Tower, one of the remaining parts of Southampton’s medieval castle, is said to be where Sir Bevis died.
