Description
When the brewery equipment of the former Surrey Hills Brewery.housed at Old Scotland Farm came up for sale in July 2011, it proved the perfect opportunity for chief brewer Steve to fulfil his lifelong dream of owning his own brewery.
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 the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. A pale amber pour with a loose white head; grapefruit aroma; medium body, with a sweet tropical fruit taste at first; then becoming drier with lots of pink grapefruit adding bitterness. Tasty.

Sampled @ GBBF Day 2. Clear copper color, small off-white head. Smell and taste caramel, caramalts, lightly bitter, hint of tea. Somehow it all combines not to my liking. Average body and carbonation. Mwah.

Taste comprises orange pith, straw, toasted bread, trace of grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. Ok cask affair if a touch pedestrian for the style.

Cask at George (JDW) in Croydon. Spotty lacing from a filmy layer. Clear dark golden body. Smell of grain and ripe citrus. Grapefruit and peach upfront to the taste buds, grainy malts beneath. Ends with mild fruity bitterness. Refreshing (Shared with Finn, 28.11.2015).
