Tillingbourne Brewery Dormouse – new on today at The Fox Inn at Fox Corner.
Brewed in conjunction with Surrey Wildlife Trust to help protect the habitat of the Hazelnut Dormice which live in the woods behind the brewery.
This is Tillingbourne’s smooth easy drinking Traditional English Ale which is chestnut in colour and light on the pallet.
The sweetness comes from biscuit and caramel malts balanced with a selection of English Hops.
ABV 3.8%
Tillingbourne Brewery Dormouse
When the brewery equipment housed at Old Scotland Farm came up for sale in July 2011, it proved the perfect opportunity for chief brewer Steve to fulfil his lifelong dream of owning his own brewery.
In partnership with an old school friend Lee – the sales & marketing brains of the business – the purchase was completed in September 2011 and then the major task of cleaning, decorating and upgrading the brewery began…
On 19th November 2011, the first Tillingbourne brew was finally underway. With over 20 years’ experience, moving from brewing 120 pints for private consumption to nearly 5,000 pints commercially was always going to be a challenge. But under Steve’s strict quality control, they did it and without compromise.
Tillingbourne’s reputation for quality grew as quickly as their reputation for being hop fanatics. Their passion for infusing beers with copious amounts of hops has also become their signature.
