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.

Bottle. Rather dark, medium brown in color. Rich biscuity malt and caramel, with spicy hops with notes of tobacco. Well carbonated and light, though very malty. Quite traditional indeed.

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle at the Falcon, Wycombe. Orange-gold, negligible fizz. Nice tangy eating apples flavour up front - think Braeburns. A touch of bittersweet apple skin too. Overall medium-sweet but with a hint of dryness in the finish. Decent for a mass-market bottled cider.
