Christmas Beers for the Festive Season

We are ready to spread some Christmas cheer with our Hogs Back beer! Get ready for our three winter ales making their way to you...

1. Advent Ale

A deep chestnut coloured ale, brewed with the finest English malted barley and home-grown Fuggles hops, for a refreshing fruity nose, a sweet liquorice and roasted malt flavour, with a rich dark chocolate aftertaste.

Advent Ale is already ready to be purchased in bottle in our Brewery Shop and online. Miles has also been busy checking Advent draught to make sure it's top notch for when we release it in the Bar and Shop on tap!

2. Yule Hog

A festive red rye beer with characteristic spicy notes.
Session ales are becoming ever more popular and we spotted a gap in the market for a lower ABV festive ale – Yule Hog fits it perfectly. A 3.8% session beer with plenty of flavour but also allowing Santa to enjoy a great half pint and still steer his sleigh safely back to the North Pole.

Yule Hog has just gone through the brewhouse, so you know what that means... it'll be available soon in the Shop and Tap! Make sure to keep your eye out for it if this tickles your tastebuds.

3. Mistletoe & Swine

A full-bodied, deep amber ale. With subtle hints of sultana, ginger, cinnamon and orange zest. Made with a special mulling recipe. We couldn’t put a real Christmas pudding in our beer, but we think our brew team have got the flavours spot on with this full-bodied festive cracker.

Soon to be brewed, Mistletoe & Swine is not a beer you want to miss this Christmas! It's definitely one to get you in the festive spirit, so keep your ears pricked for when it'll become available...
