Our Guest Ales
Brakspear Bitter 3.4%
A superb session beer. Amber in colour with a good fruit, hop and malt nose. The initial taste of malt and the well hopped
bitterness quickly dissolves into a predominantly bitter-sweet and fruity finish.
Marston's Burton Bitter
It is crafted using only the finest, barley, hops, yeast and famous Burton spring water to deliver an exceptionally clean tasting beer combining malty biscuity flavours with a delicate hop character and finish.
It is almost 1000 years since the beer making virtues of Burton's spring water was discovered by the Monks of Burton Abbey. The spring water does not come from the River Trent, it is rain water that has fallen on the surrounding hills, and percolated down through gypsum beds, forming an underground stream on the valley floor. It is these trace elements of gypsum (calcium sulphate) which help to make a clearer, brighter bitter. We collect our natural spring water from several wells on site at our brewery.
Ringwood Best Bitter
The perfect supping beer! Ringwoods first brew and still the New Forest's favourite tipple. Best Bitter was awarded Bronze Medal at the Munich Beer Festival in 2005.
Wychwood Hobgoblin 4.5%
Hobgoblin is a dark ruby coloured beer brewed using chocolate malt and some crystal malt. This gives the beer both the dry biscuit flavour with the elements of chocolate coffee from the Chocolate malt, and the sweet toffee flavours from the crystal malt. Hobgoblin is hopped with Fuggles hops in the copper which provide a full, robust, rich almost marmalade back ground flavour.Head Brewer Jeremy Moss also adds a late addition of Styrian Goldings hops to add the delicate floral and citrus flavours.
