The Isle of Wight's oldest brewery opens the doors to its new, multi-million pounds premises today (Thursday).
Complete with a shop and a restaurant, Goddards aims to become the latest big attraction on the Island.
Formerly just a brewery, the business has relocated from its previous site at Barnsley Farm in Ryde, to Branstone just off Newport Road.
The new building boasts a retail shop selling Isle of Wight produce, a visitor attraction with 28 digital touch screens, and an audio visual area.

The Isle of Wight County Press was invited for a look around ahead of an official opening ceremony last month (March).
Upstairs, there is also a restaurant/bar with an outdoor terrace and a window through to the brewery.
The move, which has been fours years in the making, has allowed the business to create more jobs and triple its work force.
Goddards was founded around 30 years ago by Anthony Goddard and wife Alix.
Access to the visitor experience and Firkin Deck restaurant is only available through membership.
The one-off membership fee costs £12.50.
