6X and IPA took a little holiday to go and see where the hops that give them their fantastic flavours are from.
Newnham Farm grows the Fuggles and Goldings hops that provide 6X and IPA with their wonderful taste and aromas!
Richard and the team took us on an exclusive tour of the unique processes that go into growing, picking, and packaging the hops that go into so many of the beers we know and love.
... This is an extremely busy harvest period for the team and we would like to say a huge thank you from us all at Wadworth for what they do!

The boys are back in town!
Yesterday we went on board the HMS Queen Elizabeth for the launch of the WOs & SRs' Mess, the Queens Head!
Horses start their holiday!
Max Sam and Archie go on their annual holidays tomorrow. Pop to the brewery at 12 as they enjoy a pint of 6X before they leave, or see them in the field at Bulkington as they stretch their legs on a well deserved summer rest.
Challenging the whisky perception..the most delicious refreshing cocktails coming soon! Thanks STARWARD
a great place to visit, friendly staff, and fantastic beers
What an amazing tour. Really informative and funny plus also learned a few things about Devizes itself. John our tour guide was an absolute star too- I’d go back just for a pint at the bar with him! Great value for money and definitely go for the pie option.
We did the tour yesterday. Our guide was great,very knowledgeable about the brewery and the beers along with a good sense of humour. Enjoyed the tasting afterwards and would highly recommend the pies. ÔøΩÔøΩÔøΩÔøΩ
Used to drink 6x when I was younger. Was diagnosed with coeliac 2 years ago after a tour in Afghanistan and thought I'd jacked in my ale drinking day until today. Found 6x gold in a pub. So chuffed. A real good authentic tasting ale that's GF.
Treated hubby to the tour as a father's Day gift. Our tour guide was Becky. She gave a very informative tour around Wadworth brewery. So interesting to find out all about the history, the ingredients and the process. The proud heritage that is still being carried on through the family. Such an insight into how they have grown and developed. Especially the Sign Writers section. A great tradition upheld. ! (Only downside is we didn't get to see the Shire horses as they were at The Three Counties show. )
Generous samples of the beer were on offer at the end of our tour. I enjoyed the sanpling. Even though I am not a beer drinker. Such great value for money! Even the gifts available in their shop were most reasonable too. Highly recommended experience
This was a birthday treat for my husband , we both enjoyed the tour and guides knowledge we were both fascinated . Well worth the trip excellent üòÄ
Really great tour the guide was great very interesting to find how master brewers do there magic and at the end a very good tasting session all in all a great tour thank you
One of, if not the best, brewery tour I’ve done. Our host Lyn was lovely and very knowledgeable and passionate about Waddys beer.
I loved the contrast between the old brewery and the new, well new equipment in an old building.
Plus it’s great to see an independent brewery thriving.
It’s also great to see, in this day and age, a brewery that’s sticking to tradition, even though in must effect their bottom line, I’m referring to keeping the drew horses and carts to deliver beer locally and keeping a team of three artists to hand paint the pub signs. Oh and I almost forgot- the very generous tasting at the end. Thanks for a great afternoon.

My daughter arranged a tour yesterday for my hubbys Birthday, it was excellent! Lynn was lovely, very informative & made the tour very interesting. Loved seeing the beautiful shire horses, sampling the beers & the pies were delicious. Definitely recommend a visit. Thankyou!
I have drank 6x and your other beers as well, I have never had a bad pint or heard anyone complaining about Wadworth 's , keep up the great work , Merry Christmas to you all at Wadworth' s ÔøΩ
Highly recommend very interesting good guide with good knowledge of waddies and very good beer at the end only complaint wanted to buy sweatshirt but like lots of others they dont do 3xl
Highly Recommend £11 but got 5 cask and 2 keg tasting samples with tutored tasting at the end. Unlike some brewery tours our guide Rebecca knew her stuff and gave us a good tour showing how beer is made from natural ingredients to the end result. Nice to see the 3 dray horses as well.
Had a lovely tour around with my husband Lucy the guide was really friendly and informative loved the samples had a really smashing time
Excellent tour, very reasonably priced at £11 per head or £9 for concessions, very thorough tour with lots of information, and then a beer tasting at the end with a very generous 8 beers to try, definitely will be recommending!
Excellent tour today with Becky! So friendly, fun, and knowledgeable! Really enjoyed this way of celebrating Valentine’s Day!
Did the tour today with "Beki" her knowledge was amazing and her people skills second to none. The humour and energy she put into her delivery made the day. Would highly recommend.
Cool to visit amd taste.
