We’re passionate about producing high-quality beers which are not only flavourful and aesthetically pleasing but also suitable for anyone who is interested in trying good quality craft beer. We've spent years refining and progressing our recipes to keep up with people’s ever-changing taste.
We were founded in 2011 by Peter Hills and Jon Swain in a couple of railway arches in Haggerston, Hackney.
Over the years we’ve invested in state-of-the-art lab equipment, new machinery and we strive to continuously improve our processes and work to get the best out of our ingredients.
Now with a focus on Keg and Can formats with modern and US hop forward styles, we provide a complete core range of crafted styles from Session-able table beers, hop forward pales and IPA’s, hazy juice bombs, a multi award winning peach and basil sour and crystal clear craft lager.
In 2021 we opened our new site on the Blackhorse Beer Mile, High Hill Taproom, home to Hackney Brewery.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Almost opaque dark brown beer, a few pale tan bubbles. Light smooth and dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Slightly tangy dark chocolate malts, a thin dark chocolate cream. Finishes with some modest ripe fruits and fairly dry. Serviceable.

Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2022 - day 1. Pours rich black-brown with a small, foamy tan head. Lightly sweet with rich ashy roast, torched wood, earth, old leather. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; pretty good condition. Ashy bitter finish, drying baking cocoa. Nice, toothy.
