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.

CONFERENCE CASUAL
A 5.5% Pale ale - full to the brim of Dolcita hops which might be our new favourite!

The legends at came down to the forest and assisted in smashing it out the park with this one!

It’s been out for about 4 days, nearly sold out and we are already considering a rebrew.

Don’t hang about and join in the fun of sinking a few of these.

CONFERENCE CASUAL // 5.5% HAZY PALE ALE

Collaboration with Brewing Brothers Brewery & Taproom

When we first met the amazing team from Brewing Brothers in a pub in Liverpool, we knew brewing a beer together was a sure thing. An awesome bunch of people brewing some seriously incredible beers.

For this pale, we’ve used one of our new favourite hops, Dolcita, bringing huge peachy flavours, alongside El Dorado and Ekuanot to round things out with even more big, exotic fruit character.

This hazy juice bomb is the perfect partner for enjoying the rest of those summer evenings together. ☀️🍺

Available now online and at Vibrant Forest Taproom

// MANY TREES, ONE FOREST // 🌳 🍺☀️

6% COLLAB IPA

Since its release last week this has been our fastest selling beer of 2026 (so far)

With the amazing story behind this beer sometimes we can forget about the actual liquid. But honestly we could not be happier with how this turned out.

The draught version of this is completely sold out so if you want the chance to try this beer grab it now from our webshop or Vibrant Forest Taproom

A little glimpse of what we got up to this weekend.

Beers were drunk, cake was eaten, and even a few dance moves were thrown about. 💃🕺

But most importantly, we got to share the day with our amazing friends and customers. We could never truly put into words how grateful we are for this vibrant community — it really is something special. ❤️

Here’s to the next 15 years! 🍾🍺🤙

// FIRST SETTLEMENT // 🍾🛢️🚜🍺

6.5% Mixed Fermentation Saison

The next beer celebrating our 15th Birthday is something a little bit special.

Just over three years ago, we took our house saison, Farmhouse, put it to sleep in an apricot brandy barrel and added some wild yeast.

No adjuncts. No additional fruit. We’ve simply let the yeast and the barrel do their thing — and they’ve created something truly special.

Expect a complex, sharp and funkier version of Farmhouse, with layers of character and a smooth, oaky finish.

We’re really proud of this one and can’t wait for you to try it.

Swing by the Taproom and grab a bottle while you can (available from Saturday)— only around 100 exist. 🍾

Only 30 tickets left for our Birthday Party on Saturday 🤙
