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.

Bottled. I've got the seasonal variety Santas Wobble, which according to their website was so popular they made it a regular and changed the name of it. Pours deep amber. Syrupy, fruity nose. Full bodied, malty and very sweet. Nice woody, spicy finish.

Sampled cask conditioned. Deep golden. Pleasant hay-like aroma. Medium bodied, some malt sweetness. Really soft mouthfeel, a hint of salt, well balanced with bitterish finish. Pleasant all the way through. Top notch as a summer ale.

Bright amber; weird nose - meaty, slightly smokey, woody. The palate is minerally, hoppy, woody, with some pale malts. A very odd yeast strain, and the way it plays off the minerals in the water and the woodiness of the hops gives it an almost roast beef-like quality.

Sampled cask condiditioned. Dark brown. Light bodied for a porter. Dry, roasty, with a hint of coffee. Low bitterness. On the mild and light side of brown porters. Very suitable name.
