About Us
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. Winner of many awards including a gold medal for Best Bitter at the CAMRA Great British Beer festival.
Our first ever brew of 10 barrels (some 3000 pints) began at 6:00 a.m. 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!
