Wadworth Brewery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wadworth is a regional brewery founded in 1875 in Devizes, Wiltshire, England. They are particularly famous for their 6X beer, but also are a major brewery in the south of England.

Founded in 1875 when Henry Wadworth purchased the Northgate Brewery in Devizes, Wadworth & Co. quickly built a reputation as a fine brewer. It was not long before they exceeded their capacity at the Northgate Brewery and in 1885 they moved premises to a custom built facility less than 100 metres from their original site. Since then, the brewer has been a major influence on the economy of Devizes and a major provider of Ale in the South of England.
The Northgate Brewery was built in 1888.
While 6X is the Brewer's most famous beer, the company also produce a range of other beers, including several seasonal ales.
- 6X
- Henry's Original IPA
- Horizon - Golden Ale
- JCB - named after John Cairns Bartholomew, grandson of the founder
- Malt 'n' Hops (Seasonal - brewed in September only)
- Summersault (Seasonal - brewed during the summer)
- Old Father Timer (Seasonal - brewed during winter)
- The Bishop's Tipple
6X is a popular beer in the south west of England, especially Wiltshire where it is brewed. Although the Wadworth brewery in Devizes brews many other beers, 6X remains one of its most celebrated beers. In 2007 6X won the Daily Telegraph and Cask Marque Best Of British Beer Award for Wales and the West.
