Named after Cornish heavyweight boxer Robert James Fitzsimmons, Ruby Jack red ale is the latest addition to the St Austell Brewery beer stable, weighing in at a handsome 4.6% ABV and packing a punch worthy of the man listed at No.8 in Ring Magazine’s all-time Top 100 biggest hitters.

Born in Helston, Cornwall in 1863, ‘Bob’ Fitzsimmons, known worldwide as Ruby Jack for his red hair and Cornish ancestry, made boxing history as the sport’s first three-division world champion, picking up the Middleweight, Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight titles in a professional career that spanned at least three decades and included famous victories against the likes of Gentleman Jim Corbett, the original Jack Dempsey and Tom Sharkey, the latter bout being refereed by none other than former lawman Wyatt Earp himself.
