Record-breaking festival to celebrate milestone harvest in Tongham.
Hogs Back Brewery celebrated its 10th hop harvest with a record number of visitors alongside hop-laden hats beer, and bands.
The festival began on Friday when the Hop hangar was turned into a party venue on Friday, September 13 following two weeks of harvesting in the hop garden.
The entertainment started with a sold-out ‘Roots’ concert of original music, headlined by Newton Faulkner. The weekend was filled with different entertainment from Brit Pop with Blurasis to blues from Wille and The Bandits.
Hogs Back harvested three hop varieties this year: Fuggles, English Cascade, and Farnham White Bine, a traditional local variety.
Visitors also raised money for charity with over £3,300 collected for the British Heart Foundation.
