About Avon Brewery

Avon Brewery is Salisbury's own craft brewery, based in Harnham beside the River Avon. Their taproom opens at weekends, offering fresh pints of their core range and seasonal specials direct from the brewery — the freshest pints in the city by definition.

The riverside location is outstanding — the taproom backs onto the Avon and the Cathedral water meadows, with outdoor seating along the riverbank. On a Saturday afternoon in summer, few better places exist within the city to spend an hour or two with a quality local pint.

The core range spans session pale ales, IPAs, milds and seasonal stouts. Beyond beer, the brewery has developed a small range of Wiltshire-ingredient spirits. Brewery tours run monthly.

An absolute gem. Sat outside on a Saturday afternoon with a pint of their fresh pale ale watching the Cathedral spires across the meadows. The beer is excellent and the riverside setting is stunning.

One of the best things to do in Salisbury that most visitors miss. Fresh brewery-direct pints in a stunning riverside location. The core range is well-crafted and the seasonal special was outstanding.

Worth the walk from the city centre. Friday and Saturday taproom hours only but well worth planning around. Great beer, lovely outdoor seating by the river. Cash preferred but card accepted.
