Hobgoblin Ruby Beer

Hobgoblin is one of the most recognizable names in the world of British craft brewing, specifically associated with the legendary Wychwood Brewery in Witney, Oxfordshire. Originally created in 1988 at the request of a local landlord for a wedding, the beer became famous for its distinctive branding based on folklore and its rich, dark character.

Known as 'The Unofficial Beer of Halloween,' the product is traditionally brewed in the heart of the Cotswolds in England. Over the decades, the brand has transitioned from an independent brewery label to a major international asset through several industry consolidations. Today, the brand's production and identity are maintained under the umbrella of major global beverage corporations, though it retains its heritage as a classic English ale.
