Trio of Hogs Back Brewery gift sets listed by Moonpig

Surrey based Hogs Back Brewery has secured a new listing with Moonpig, the leading ecommerce greeting card and gifting platform, who are selling three of the brewer’s gift packs, including two for Father’s Day.

The sets were created by Hogs Back exclusively for Moonpig. For Father’s Day, both Dad’s Emergency Toolkit and Dad’s Downtime include a bottle of four of Hogs Back’s top-selling ales, Tongham TEA, Surrey Nirvana, Hog IPA and Gardener’s Tipple. Dad’s Downtime offers the same beers, plus a pack of Burt’s Popcorn. The packs retail at £18 and £20 respectively.

For year-round gifts for beer lovers, Moonpig is also selling a ‘Birthday Beats’ pack of Hogs Back beers with a bottle of each of their four best-sellers, retailing at £18.

Hogs Back Brewery managing director Rupert Thompson said: “We’re delighted that the bespoke packs we created for Moonpig are now available on their website. Their eye-catching, quirky design will appeal to gift buyers wanting a fun Father’s Day or birthday present for the beer lover in their life.”

He added: “Father’s Day comes at the start of the Euro 24 tournament this year, so while dads are enjoying their Hogs Back treats, plenty of other men and women will be enjoying a beer or two in front of the football.  We’re hopeful that, with some improved weather, this will be the start of a good summer for beer.”
