The Purlieu Centre Units 3 - 6 Hardley Industrial Estate Hardley , Hythe, SO45 3NQ (View on Google Map) 02382002200 kevin@vibrantforest.co.uk Website

Description

Vibrant Forest Brewery began commercial brewing in 2011 as a one-barrel plant. This gradually increased to 10 barrels over the next five years at Lymington. It relocated to a four unit brewery at Hardley and increased in size to a 12-barrel plant, with its own canning machine, plus taproom. A mezzanine floor has been added, increasing the capacity of the taproom (can new be hired for functions).
