Vibrant Forest Brewery

Vibrant Forest Brewery ... We won't tolerate ‘dull’ or ‘boring’, so whether it be from a cask or from a cask we want our beer to excite the palate and stimulate the taste buds.

Vibrant Forest is a small microbrewery located on the edge of The New Forest in Hardley and our passion is to develop, experiment and brew richly flavoured beer full of exceptional character. Beer is incredibly versatile, so it's time to show you an uncompromising approach to flavour. At our brewery taproom you can sample and purchase our beer for drinking at the brewery or to take home and enjoy

later. We always aim to have a large range of cans available and a range of keg/draft. When visiting the brewery you may meet the brewer, taste some malt, smell some amazing hops and learn more about how our great beer is made. We actively welcome those who enjoy our beers and want to share the passion.

Join us for an afternoon of fresh beer, brewing stories, and a look around the brewery with our founder Kev, who’ll be talking through how Vibrant Forest first began, how things have evolved over the years, and what goes into the beers we’re brewing today.

The tour finishes with a guided tasting of 3 of our favourite beers currently pouring fresh at the Taproom.

6.5% IPA Everyone

Everyone has a Kaleidoscope story.

The beer that really got things moving for us in the early days, and the one that introduced a lot of local people to modern craft beer.

Big, fruity and bitter, this beer has everything — and it’s tasting every bit as good today as it did all those years ago.

This very limited run is now available on our webshop and at the taproom.

Big, punchy, citrusy, bitter - it’s a bloody westie in the best possible way.

// THE CORE FOUR // 🌲🍺🌤🌳

After months of recipe tweaks, tasting sessions, and a refresh of the artwork, we’re finally ready to launch our first ever official core range:

COPPICE // 3.4% Session IPA (GF)
DAPPLE // 4% Modern Bitter
TREELINE // 4.1% Lager (GF)
PUPA // 4.5% Juicy Pale Ale

All available individually online, or as a very special Core Four box set.

Don’t worry — this doesn’t slow down or replace the big IPAs, stouts, or sours. It just gives us a bit more consistency all year round, while still letting us push out all the big and wonderful beers we love brewing.

Which one are you reaching for first? 🍺
