5 Sustainable and Local gift ideas
We're all being encouraged to think a little harder about the gifts we are giving for Christmas - are they coming from a sustainable source? Are they supporting Independent & local producers? These are really important things to consider and we are here to help you with a range of different gift ideas, not just from the brewery but also from other local producers.
The majority of our gifts are available for Local Home Delivery which is available right up until Wednesday 22nd December or come instore to take a look.
1. Snifters and Snorters
A Snorter's not just for Christmas! Our glass refillable Snifters and Snorters our a fantastic way to enjoy Brewery Fresh Hogs Back beer from home. Since we launched them in September 2020, they have helped to save us 16,000 plastic PET bottles being produced for which we have been recognised as a Plastic Free Champion by the Surfers Against Sewage movement. All you do is put down a little deposit for the container and then can get it refilled as many times as you like with discounted beer as our way of saying thank you for getting involved.
2. Hogs Back mixed cases & gift packs
All of the Hogs Back's mixed cases are made using sustainable materials from the easily recyclable brown cardboard to the glass bottles. Christmas packs such as the HogFather Christmas and Winter Selection pack include a mix of the favourite Hogs Back bottled beer and are produced to suit a range of budgets. Our smaller presentation packs, which include a Hogs Back glass and 2 bottles of Hogs Back beer or cider, can now be sent out by courier across the majority of the UK too.
3. Hogs Back Hamper
New for 2021, the Hogs Back Hamper is a lovely new gift idea for this Christmas. Packed into a stylish wicker hamper are 18 Hogs Back beers for you to enjoy - once those have all gone, it makes the perfect pack to use for a lovely summer picnic.
4. Local Wines & Gins
In the Brewery Shop we sell a range of beautifully made local Wines & Gins from Surrey and Hampshire. This includes Greyfriars wine made just a couple of miles further along the Hogs Back and the lovely Silent Pool gin distilled in Albury in the Surrey Hills. Come instore and have a browse or arrange click & collect on our shop website.
5. e-Vouchers & Party tickets
