Ringwood Brewery
Today, Ringwood Brewery is the custodian of this heritage and has been crafting quality beers such as our much loved Best Bitter, Fortyniner, Boondoggie and the revered Old Thumper. Did you know...Old Thumper was voted Champion Beer of Britain in 1988 by CAMRA?
Our award winning beers are brewed in the traditional way using only the finest natural ingredients, premium malted barley, together with hops from Kent and Worcestershire. The rest is down to our famous yeast strain and the skill and dedication of our brewers.
Come and see for yourself; book onto a Brewery Tour experience where you'll get the chance to taste the malted barley, sniff the hops and see the beer fermenting in the Tun Room. The afternoon will end with the opportunity to partake in a tutored tasting session and enjoy a complimentary drink in the Pin Room.
