A bit of Ringwood Brewery history
Ringwood Brewery was founded in 1978 in Hampshire by the influential brewer Peter Austin, often called the “father of British microbrewing.” Austin’s traditional methods and distinctive yeast strain helped define the flavour profile of Ringwood’s beers, including its well‑known Best Bitter and Forty Niner. The brewery became a cornerstone of the UK’s real‑ale revival, and early promotional items — especially enamel badges — are now sought after by collectors of modern British brewery history.
