"Surrey beer wins gold award"

A brewery in Surrey has won the gold award for strong ales in a competition contested by beers from all over the British Isles.

Hogs Back Brewery in Tongham earned the prize by beating six other finalists in its class at the National Beer Competition run by SIBA, the Society of Independent Brewers.

The winning beer, A Over T (Aromas Over Tongham ) is brewed at 9.0 per cent alcohol by volume and is described by Hogs Back as a "very strong, complex-flavoured smooth barley wine that is ruby in colour and full bodied". It is available in bottles throughout the year and on draught in the winter.

A Over T won 'Supreme Champion Winter Beer' of Britain by the Campaign for Real Ale 2006, one of more than 40 awards won by Hogs Back since the brewery was launched in 1992. It now produces more than 40,000 pints of beer a week and supplies more than 500 outlets.

A Over T is available from our online shop.

About The Brewery

The Hogs Back Brewery is an independent brewery based in Tongham, Surrey. Our flagship real ale, 'TEA' (Traditional English Ale), has proved to be a favourite of cask conditioned ale drinkers throughout the UK and is the proud winner of many awards.

Our first ever brew of 10 barrels (some 3000 pints of beer) began at 6am. on 4th August 1992, and rapidly sold out through a handful of local pubs. We now brew over 140 barrels, or 40,000 pints per week and supply over 500 outlets.

The original brewhouse was in one part of the complex of 18th century farm barns which house the brewery today. We are still expanding rapidly and current plans include re-equipping the fermenting room, extension of storage facilities, and a 'new' shop in a separate barn dating back to the 15th century!
