Hoggin' the Sunshine
Zingy citrus and mellow tropical fruit notes shine through a crisp, light base, followed by a clean, dry finish with zesty grapefruit highlights. Hoggin' the Sunshine is an easy-drinking 3.4% pale ale brewed with Pale and Munich malts and a touch of wheat, from Hogs Back in Tongham, Surrey, a brewery that has made beer at Manor Farm since 1992.

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
