Vibrant Forest Brewery

"Stygian Abyss..."

HELLO!
Remember when Ian of Mother Kelly's rocked up and brewed with us?
Well, it's ready.
... Introducing 'Mantra', a 2.8% Table Beer. A tiny beer in strength, but bursting with flavour. Liberal volumes of Simcoe, Mosaic, Centennial and Citra went into this brew and the result is quite special.
Much of it is headed straight into their great London bars, though we've some for ourselves for our good folks down on the South Coast.
Cheers to Ian and the crew, we reckon we've brewed something special here!

Awesome time at @puhastebrewery 2nd birthday beer festival yesterday. Totally outstanding beer. Cheers all!

Almost time to open the beer festival doors at @Puhastebrewery in Tartu!

The next beer we want to re-introduce is our favourite and the best beer in the world (according to the author).
Our India Black Ale, Metropolis!
We loved the very first artwork for this beer - it was iconic - and we wanted to bring this back into the piece.
... We love it! It's Vibrant, it pulls in the old art whilst keeping it true to the new look....it's fantastic!
Enjoy (and see all 2000-odd of you at Common Rooms tonight)

For a New Forest brewery you struggle to find our beers out in the woods.
When folks ask where to get our brews, invariably we send them to long time and stalwart friends at The Solent Cellar, The Thomas Tripp, and The Forage Deli & Eatery (🤘🤘)
However, we're very proud to add the following fantastic venues to that esteemed list.
... Surfing Moo Moo in Lyndhurst - a cracking Steak and Seafood restaurant
The Sett in Brockenhurst - a Cheese, Charcuterie and Wine bar
Lemana Coffee & Kitchen in Lymington - a delightful cafe
We sincerely advise anyone in the area to head to all of these places.
In the same day.
NOW.

Our latest pale ale, Rubus, is making its Taproom debut today.
There's a frightfully small amount in circulation so get it whilst it's here!

Super excited to be brewing with Tempel Brygghus and Pühaste Brewery today. Something red and hoppy coming soon...

The next beer we want to re-release is Umbral Abyss, our mighty 11.5% Imperial Coffee Stout.
We wanted to the piece to look as though you were trapped in the abyss. We wanted it to look sinister, and slightly otherworldly, whilst being reminiscent of the deep.
Making dark beers Vibrant can be tricky, but we reckon these designs are nailing it!
... For our local fans, new bottles arrived at Bitter Virtue today.
Cheers!

Our beer's arrived at Common Rooms for our Tap Takeover this Friday.
Dan (co-owner) and Vibrant Forest go waaay back so this should be a good one!
Cheeeeeeers!

Shout out to the lovely folks at Arundel Brewery who helped us out big time with Victorious Festival this year.
You're the best x

The next beer we want to reveal is Black Forest.
One of our older recipes, Black Forest, our 4.9% Porter, has long been a stalwart friend in our lineup. Robust and overflowing with roasted malts, dark chocolate, and espresso, it's won quite a few awards for itself.
For the re-design of Black Forest, our designer took inspiration from the fruits that give its namesake dessert its flavours, which has brightened up the piece.
... Re-introducing Black Forest, let us know what you think :D

ALRIGHT CHUMS!
We're pouring at Independent Manchester Beer Convention this year!
This is a pretty hefty milestone for us, and we're ruddy chuffed.
... Hope to see some of you then x

Introducing Rubus, our newest dual hop pale.
Rubus combines Vic Secret with Centennial to produce a very fruity and refreshing wee fella.
Usually we'd let you know where to find it but our friends at Victorious Festival phoned up a while back and decided to buy 98% of the stuff. Head to the beer tent and dink the lot!

Summerlands, our Session IPA at a very quaffable 3.5% ABV now available in can at the brewery and other outlets

Presenting the third and final canning run of today: Cambrian Root!
A little while ago, we ran a poll on which beer you'd rather see in cans - Cambrian Root or Kick-Start.
Kick-Start won by about 60/40.
... We decided to ignore this and can Cambrian Root instead.
This, too, is available on the bar right now!
Bar closes in 57 minutes-ish, see you then!
