Halloween Spirits from Wychwood Brewery, Hobgoblin Beer A Dark English Ale.

For Halloween, there are many specialty beers available with illustrated labels.
One of these is Hobgoblin from Wychwood Brewery, Oxfordshire, UK.
The website is here: http://www.wychwood.co.uk/hobgoblin/beers#/home//hobgoblin/home

The site is set up with Halloween decorations. Scroll to the end of the page, to see the log and leaves.
Click on the leave in the middle, and a forest sprite will sit up.

Click on the "Contact Us" page to watch a hobgoblin making smoke signals in the forest. http://www.wychwood.co.uk/hobgoblin/beers#/contact//hobgoblin/contact

Click on "Wychwood Local Legends and Myths."
The webpages give information about the ancient Wych Wood Forest, dating from 1086 as the Royal Forest of Wychwood.
The pages make a crinkly noise when they are turned.
