Description
Hogs Back Brewery was founded in 1992 in Tongham, and bought by current owner Rupert Thompson in 2012. In 2014, Hogs Back planted its own hop field on land adjacent to the brewery, bringing the traditional but near-extinct White Bine hop variety back to its Surrey home.

We’re a small family-owned brewery tucked away in the village of Tongham, in the heart of the old Surrey hop-growing region. Still an independently owned brewery, Hogs Back owe much of their success to their iconic, flagship real ale 'TEA' (Traditional English Ale) - a firm favourite of cask-conditioned real ale drinkers throughout the UK and a multi-award winning brew year-in, year-out.

Cask at the Hope Tap, Reading. Amber with a white head and a light fizz. Decently full-bodied. Sweet, wheaty and malty up front, descends into caramel, biscuits and a cardboardy bitterness. Overall a bit disappointing after a promising start.

Bottle from the Lidl. Blonde. Milk chocolate and a hint of cocoa in the aroma. Malty, chocolate and floral notes in the flavor. Not really pleasant.
