We went on a 6.30pm tour with Vincent and John and we were made very welcome. John was very informative about the history of Ringwood and instantly gave everyone a half pint of their excellent beer and then Vincent took us on a tour of the building, talking us through the brewing process. As my husband is a keen beer drinker we have been on several of these tours, but this was the best. It was explained step by step and we learnt a lot. We especially enjoyed tasting the barley in various stages and looking at the barrel process. After our tour we went back to John in the pub who talked through the different beers and generously handed out more to taste. I also had a go at pulling a pint. We are a varied group from 17 to 73 and we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit. At the end we were given our Ringwood glasses and a bottle of their tasty beer. After the tour we were given time to buy anything from the shop. John and Vincent were both knowledgeable and friendly and we didn't feel rushed at all, it felt like a nice evening at the local pub!!

Called to collect an early Christmas gift as my wife had purchased 2 cases, 1 of which mixed case. Rather than pre package allowed us to hand pick which was great with helpful tips on each ale. Very friendly and welcoming service. Next visit will stay a little longer and enjoy the ales on site ????????

The Tap room for CrackleRock Brewing company. Just across the road from the brewery. With 9 cask ales and 7 keg ales there should be a beer there for you. We also have a huge range of gins and vodkas - and like our beers, wines and spirits are all available as tasting flights if you just can't decide!

5. Triple fff Brewery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 14 reviews
We're a family business that started 22 years ago right here in the same spot in Four Marks. We started in one room (that is now the top half our bar!), with a micro brewing kit and a passion to create great beer. Alton's Pride went on to become Champion Beer of Britain in 2008 and continues to be a best seller. Following a huge renovation in November 2019 we now boast a bar that features a roaring fire, snugs, booths and bar seating with a range of craft beers, artisan spirits, adult soft drinks alongside Triple fff classics.

Now established itself as my local when walking the dog. He of course drags me in for the free dog treats, I stick with the beer. Always manage to have a chat with someone on these occasions. This may be an unusual setup but it is certainly a village pub where you can go to meet with family and friends.

If you like your beer a little out of the ordinary then you must try a Vibrant Forest brew. Sour beers, fruit beers (I had a lovely gooseberry flaviured beer) and much more are on offer here, and at the weekend you can sit and have a pint and some food.
