Hogs Back Brewery is reaping the rewards of planting its own hop garden next to the brewery in Farnham in Surrey as the price of imported varieties reaches an all-time high, fuelled by the weakness of sterling.
Speaking at a ‘Hop Tales and Hop Tails’ event in London to celebrate the brewery’s third hop harvest and share insights on the UK and global hop markets, Hogs Back Brewery managing director Rupert Thompson said, “We planted our hop garden next to the brewery in 2014, as part of our commitment to local sourcing, reducing food miles, sustainable brewing and taking greater control of the ingredients in our beers.
