Surrey was once one of the main hops growing counties in the country. Hop growing was major business and led to the growth of towns in Surrey such as Farnham in the late 1890's. Visit the Hogs Back Brewery in Tongham or the Rural Life Centre in Tilford to discover harvesting techniques. The Maltings, an arts venue, was once the Farnham United Breweries.

Surrey also boasts numerous cosy, traditional English pubs to enjoy a pint of local ale, or glass of wine!
