Brewery shop & Taproom bar

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 12 keg lines and 1 cask, in addition to the range of bottled and canned beers available. An August 2022 report says that cask ale is not usually available.

Simple snacks available, and at weekends 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.

September 2023 report: No cask ale except if there is a function on (this hasn't been confirmed).

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