Our legendary Friday 13th
With Friday 13th fast approaching, it can only mean one thing. Our legendary honeyed ale is back.
Brewed with 100% local Fuggles in the copper, and dry-hopped late in the fermentation process with more Fuggles, before the honey is added. With all the malt and hop balance of Tongham TEA, just with that added touch of sweetness to finish.
Did you know?
Friday 13th may be said to be unlucky for some. It certainly was for 6 geese who flew over the village of Tongham on Friday 13th October 1995 and crashed straight into the main power supply to the Brewery, causing a total power cut. The loss of power came at a critical point in the brewing process and in order not to lose the whole brew, the staff came up with the inspired idea of adding honey to make the beer ferment. The resulting brew tasted so good, that ever since that fateful day, we have brewed Friday 13th whenever that date appears in the calendar.
Pouring in the Brewery Shop on Friday 13th September 2024, but when it’s gone, it’s gone!
Don't forget our Brewery Shop will be operating different hours 13th-15th September inclusive for the Hop Harvest Party weekend and our Emergency Beer Service will be running.
