Ringwood Brewery to be up for sale by Carlsberg Marston’s
Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company (CMBC) wish to sell Ringwood Brewery due to extensive investment required to maintain its viability.
Best known for its cask ales and boar mascot present across all the brewery’s beers, Ringwood Brewery was founded in 1978, and after outgrowing its original premises, moved to the current site in Christchurch Road in 1986.
Under the proposals, the brewery and the ale brands – including Razorback, Old Thumper, Boondoggle and Fortyniner – would be put on the market for sale.
CMBC’s logistics operation at Ringwood is proposed to close, with deliveries relocated to CMBC’s depots at Tiverton and Farnborough, with support from the Cardiff depot.
Paul Davies, CEO of CMBC, said: “We are announcing our intention to put our Ringwood Brewery in Hampshire up for sale. This includes the rights for Ringwood’s well-loved ale brands.
