Deep in the forest, where shadows twist and secrets brew, I was born... a ruby-hued elixir forged from ancient malts and devilish intent. I am Hobgoblin Ruby, and I do not play fair.
Within my glowing red depths lies a bold blend of Pale, Crystal, and Chocolate malts, delivering waves of smooth toffee, hints of dark chocolate, and the decadent chew of dried figs, dates, and raisins. Fuggles, Styrian, and Goldings hops weave in a subtle bitterness, keeping me grounded — just enough — before I drag you into my wickedly rich, full-bodied embrace.
To sip me is to surrender. A devilishly rich and fruity gem, I’m dangerously moreish, mercilessly smooth, and just fruity enough to keep you guessing. Drink if you dare… but don’t say you weren’t warned.

Nestled in the heart of Oxfordshire is where centuries-old brewing tradition meets the enchanted legends of the ancient Wychwood Forest. Housed within historic walls once home to Clinch’s Brewery, Wychwood's beers are as bold and mysterious as the myths that whisper through the forest’s depths. The brand inspired by hobgoblins, witches, and other fantastical creatures said to roam the shadowed glades behind the brewery, a captivating tribute to a storied past where magic and malt intertwine.
