Wadworth & Co Ltd

Wadworth has been brewing beer in the beautiful market town of Devizes, in Wiltshire, since 1875. Originally founded by Henry Alfred Wadworth, the business passed to his founding partner John Smith Bartholomew and is now in the fifth generation of ownership by the Bartholomew family, with Toby Bartholomew leading the company as Managing Director. The brewery combines the tradition of craft beer with modern production techniques and systems. Pubs signs are still hand painted in our sign shop and the Wadworth shire horses deliver beers weekly around the town throughout the spring and summer. Our skills and craft are hugely important to us, and this is all backed up by a state of the art Steinecker brew house ensuring that our beers are the highest quality and consistency possible.

We are all about Real Brewing, Real Pubs and Real People. Have a watch of our videos to see what makes this family brewer unique:/www.wadworth.co.uk/more/real-brewing-real-pubs-real-people

Here at Wadworth we are proud of our past and fired up by our future as we look forward to moving into a new brewery, still in Devizes, in 2023. Follow our journey on our social media feeds. www.facebook.com/WelcometoWadworthand www.instagram.com/officialwadworthbrewery

Brewery Tap & Shop

The Wadworth Brewery Tap & Shop is based at our brewery in Devizes. Pop in for a pint in the tap room, browse our merchandise or get immersed in the memorabilia and soak up the history. We run weekly ale trails around our pubs in Devizes as well as host regular events throughout the year. When our Shire horse Sam delivers beer around town on Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the spring and summer, he pops by for a meet and greet at the Brewery Tap, so head on down (with a carrot or two!) to say hi.
