Friday 13th pouring but when it's gone, it's gone! - Hogs Back Brewery

Friday 13th pouring but when it's gone, it's gone!

It's Friday 13th!  Unlucky for some, but not if you manage to get your hands of some of our Friday 13th honeyed ale.

Friday 13th beer brewed with honey
Brewed with 100% homegrown Fuggles in the copper, and dry-hopped late in the fermentation process with more Fuggles, before the honey is added to the beer. Marvellously mellow, with all the malt and hop balance of Tongham TEA, just with that added touch of sweetness to finish.

Pouring now in the Brewery Shop and Tap. When it's gone, it's gone!

This is the story of Friday 13th, our very limited edition cask ale........

Friday 13th may be lucky for some, but certainly not for the 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 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.
