Hogs Back Brewery

We’re a small family-owned brewery with big plans to make our beer genuinely local and our brewing more sustainable.

Having opened our doors on Manor Farm in 1992, we feel part of the landscape in Tongham. But that doesn’t stop us thinking differently.

That’s because we believe beer is best brewed locally. That way, it’s better for our consumers, the local community and the environment.

Great beer comes from a combination of passion, expertise and the best ingredients. So in 1994 we decided to grow our own hops. It’s been a steep learning curve but we nurture, harvest, dry and pack our hops here on the farm.

The hops don’t leave our sight or our site as they literally travel from “field to firkin in a furlong”.

All the spent grain from the brewing process is fed to local farm animals.
