About the Brewery...
It is said that beer has been brewed in Ringwood for centuries, ever since medieval man first mixed the crystal waters of the River Avon with the malted barley from the fertile fields of Hampshire! We can't confirm or deny that, but we do know that Ringwood was started in 1978 on the back of the revival of cask beer championed by CAMRA. Back then the founder, Peter Austin, could never have imagined that his small undertaking would grow to become the largest independent cask brewer in Hampshire. Peter retired in 1988 and the reins were passed to David Welsh who has never lost sight of his tutor’s vision: “Look after the beer and everything else will look after itself!”
About the Beer...
Brewed to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the founding of Ringwood Brewery in March 1978, this is a golden, refreshing beer brewed using Maris Otter barley and infused with Sovereign and Goldings hops. The nose consists of hop aromas with fruity, spicy flavours, leading to a good malt feel in the mouth with a distinctive hoppy finish.
