Comments: www.ringwoodbrewery.co.uk Hampshire's New Forest was historically the hunting ground of legendary fierce wild boar, the prize kill of many an English King. Ringwood Brewery celebrates this heritage with a real beast of a beer in 'Old Thumper'. It delivers a deep brown strong ale with a spicy fruity hop aroma and a warming malty finish. CAMRA Beer of Britain Winner 1988.

This old beer (which won an award in 1988!) is a new beer for my list, and was recently bought for me in Southampton by my daughter!! :)
