Hogs Back Brewery

A child and dog friendly brewery serving food with WiFi and a garden in Farnham.

Details

The Hogs Back Brewery is a small, family-owned brewery, situated in the heart of the old Surrey hop-growing region. We first opened our doors on 4th August 1992, in 18th century farm buildings that at various times have stored wheat, housed cattle and, appropriately, hogs.
We have been brewing our award-winning range of traditional ales for over 33 years, using the finest ingredients and brewing in small batches to ensure the highest possible quality.
We brew a wide range of styles, including our flagship brand TEA (Traditional English Ale), from Little Swine Alcohol Free (0.5%) Pale Ale right through to our 9% barley wine, Aromas Over Tongham (A over T).
The brewhouse is open for guided tours. Our Brewery Shop selling fresh and bottled beer is open daily. Our Tap, housed in an old hop kiln, is open Wednesday – Sunday inclusive, selling draught beer, alongside a full kitchen menu and freshly baked, sourdough pizzas. The Beer Garden overlooks our Hop Garden, where we grow three varieties of hops.
