Vibrant Forest Brewery Taproom, Hardley

Unit 3, The Purlieu Centre, Hardley Industrial Estate, Hardley, SO45 3AE (Directions)
Improve This Listing

Vibrant Forest Brewery moved to its previous premises near Lymington in 2014. Five years of organic growth later and another move & expansion was needed.

The new premises at Hardley is fully licensed, so sales to the general public are available for both drinking at the brewery and for taking home to enjoy later. It first opened on Saturday 1st June 2019. The Taproom has capacity for two cask ales and nine membrane-keg lines, in addition to the range of bottled and canned beers available.

Simple snacks available, and on Saturdays street food vendors visit the huge outside yard.

Although there is no play area, well-behaved children are welcome.

Note: Seasonal opening times. Open additional days and slightly longer in summer.

Information for this venue is provided by the Southern Hampshire Branch of CAMRA
