Tillingbourne
Microbrewery
in Shere,
Surrey,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Tillingbourne Brewery
Established in 2011
In partnership with an old school friend Lee the purchase was completed in September 2011 and then the major task of cleaning, decorating and upgrading the brewery began…
On 19th November 2011, the first Tillingbourne brew was finally underway. With over 20 years’ experience, moving from brewing 120 pints for private consumption to nearly 5,000 pints commercially was always going to be a challenge. But under Steve’s strict quality control, we did it and without compromise.
Our reputation for quality grew as quickly as our reputation for being hop fanatics. Our passion for infusing our beers with copious amounts of hops has also become our signature.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Low key malty aroma. Light brow or dark amber. Thin, slightly blotchy, white head. Light bitter. Underlying hints of sweetness - caramel. Herbal edge, almost a salted caramel element. Thin bodied and on the light side. Fizzy carbonation. Abrupt finish. Better than expected - a lively refreshing bitter.

Cask at White Hart, Chobham. Floral aroma but it also has a musty malty element to it. Gold. Thin bubbly white head. Makes a poor first impression - light light bitter with a soda water taste to it. The light and thin palate fon't help. However it does gain hoppy bitterness and has a sweet finish. Low key fizzy carbonation. Long finish. Watery gold, some character but not great.

Bottle from Inn At Home, Guildford. Funky aroma, with a fruity buzz that makes me think of white wine spritzer. Light gold, with an orange tint. No head. Sour, gets stronger until it's increasingly tart into the finish. Apple juice. Thin bodied. Light. Low key carbonation. Abrupt dry finish. For a first sour from this brewery this is a decent enough attempt. A tad one dimensional and at first really overdoes the sour.
