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.

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.
