It is that time of the year again when we give you lovely followers a sneaky peek at some of our suppliers for the Beer Festival. This year we have sourced locally and below are some of the breweries making their Portchester Beer Festival debut this year!
Hopback Brewery was started in 1986 from the cellar of The Wyndham Arms pub in Salisbury, by John Gilbert who was a pioneer of the new wave of microbrewers that appeared in the early 1980s. They have since acquired 2 more pubs and in 1996 won at the Brewing Industry International Awards for the session beer
G.F.B. (Gilbert’s First Brew), claiming Gold Medal both in its class and the overall Championship, beating 232 other cask beers!

Greyhound Brewery was started in 2012 by husband and wife team Nick and Sarah Allen in the kitchen of their West Sussex home. After taking over their double garage with barrel brewing equipment, the business went from strength to strength. They remain a very small brewery focusing on good flavour and experimenting with ingredients, currently supplying casks to local pubs and beer festivals and their bottled beer to local and London based restaurants.

They are passionate about brewing beer & enjoy creating a whole range of innovative, quality modern beers, using both traditional and new brewing methods with only the finest malt, Hops and Yeast.
