Wadworth Brewery, founded in 1875 by Henry Alfred Wadworth in Devizes, Wiltshire, is a family-owned brewery and pub company, now in its fifth generation of ownership by the Bartholomew family, with Toby Bartholomew as managing director. Here's a more detailed look at Wadworth's history and background: Founding: Henry Alfred Wadworth, with his partner John Smith Bartholomew, established the brewery in 1875 in Devizes. Early Years: The brewery initially operated at Northgate Brewery, but due to growing demand, they moved to a new facility in 1885, known as the Northgate Brewery, which is a tower brewery. Family Ownership: The brewery has remained a family business, with the Bartholomew family continuing to own and operate it, now in its fifth generation. Brewing Tradition: Wadworth is known for its traditional ales, including 6X, Horizon, and Henry's IPA, and has recently expanded its range with the launch of Folly Road craft beers. New Brewery: In 2023 Wadworth invested in a new state-of-the-art brewing facility on Folly Road in Devizes, moving out of the 1885 brewery at Northgate.Category
