About
Wadworth at Devizes in Wiltshire (1875) is the family Victorian brewery best known for 6X (the world's-most-prized strong bitter, brewed from the original recipe). Until recently the brewery still ran shire-horse drays around Devizes; the Northgate Brewery building is Grade II-listed and the visitor centre runs tours of the original kettle and oasts.

Background
History
Wadworth & Co. was founded in 1875 when Henry Wadworth purchased the Northgate Brewery in Devizes. It was not long before they exceeded the capacity of that brewery, and in 1885 they moved premises to a new tower brewery close to their original site. The Northgate Brewery closed in 2023 and was replaced by a new brewery at Folly Road, on the northeastern outskirts of Devizes. Plans were submitted in 2025 to redevelop the Northgate site for housing.
