"Surrey Beer Conquers Cornwall"

Hop Garden Gold 4.6% abv has won the title of Supreme Champion Beer at the Campaign For Real Ale Falmouth Beer Festival.

Hogs Back Brewery in Tongham earned the prize by beating 160 beers including 50 local beers from Cornwall to bring back the crown to Surrey.

Phil Roberts of the Cornwall Branch of CAMRA said "This years top spot went to a foreigner - Hop Garden Gold from the Hogs Back Brewery in Surrey. Golden, hoppy and flavoursome beers are in vogue at the moment and Hop Garden Gold admirably ticks all the boxes."

Tony Stanton, Director at the Hogs Back Brewery responded "Its strange being called a foreigner by the Cornish but its a sheer delight to bring the cherished trophy to Surrey. Its like winning the Ashes from the Auusies".

This award adds to the many such accolades won by the Hogs Back Brewery since it was launched in 1992. It now produces more than 57,000 pints of beer a week and supplies in excess of 1,000 outlets.
