VISIT TO VIBRANT FOREST BREWERY

Thursday 22nd October 2026

A club visit has been arranged to multiple award-winning Vibrant Forest Brewery, which produces a range of high-quality craft beers in the Purlieu Centre, Hythe.

Vibrant Forest was established in 2011 and was initially run part-time in the garage of owner Kevin Robinson. The business grew rapidly and in 2014 was relocated to new, much larger premises in Hythe, where it produces a wide range of high-quality craft beers that excite and inspire customers.

Vibrant Forest beers are available in pubs and shops throughout the UK and in Europe. The company also offers a convenient home delivery service in the UK..

ON THE DAY

During our visit you will see and learn about the brewing process from start to finish and about the ingredients that give Vibrant beers their unique character. Tastings will be available straight from the tanks and you will also have opportunities to taste Vibrant Forest’s latest creations.

Our tour will last about 90 minutes.
