Hogs Back Brewery

About

Hogs Back Brewery – the largest independent craft brewery in Surrey – is a living testament to the rich brewing heritage of the South‑East. Nestled in the historic manor house on The Street in Tongham, the brewery dates back to 1788 and now produces a celebrated range of award‑winning ales, lagers, ciders and cider‑based drinks. Visitors can explore the brewing rooms, learn how hops are grown in the on‑site 8½‑acre hop garden, and sample a variety of beverages at the on‑site tap room. A signature Brewery Tour (£23) guides guests through the entire process, from hops to glass, offering tastings, behind‑the‑scenes stories from the head brewer, and the chance to purchase a pint or two at the tap. The venue also hosts hop‑harvest parties, charity quiz nights, seasonal festivals and occasional pop‑up events, making it a vibrant destination for both locals and tourists alike. The setting combines historic charm with modern sustainability, featuring solar‑powered brewing and a commitment to supporting the local hop‑grower community. Whether you’re a seasoned beer connoisseur, an interested history buff, or simply looking for a relaxed afternoon with craft brews, Hogs Back Brewery provides a warm, welcoming environment supported by friendly staff, a rich hop‑garden backdrop, and a variety of brewery‑crafted experiences. The suite of events, the hop garden, and the brewery shop full of packaged beers and merchandise together create a self‑contained experience that can be enjoyed in a single visit.
