Solar-powered brewery pulls first pints

A Surrey brewery has set up a subsidiary which produces beer using nothing but solar power.

The One Planet Brewing Co has been set up in Tongham, near Farnham, by the Hogs Back Brewery.

Rooftop panels provide the energy for the brewery’s equipment.

Hogs Back said it hopes to reach net zero in 2030 – a decade ahead of the rest of the industry.

One Planet’s first beer was a 5.5% brew called Hazy IPA.

“The whole beer industry is committing to get to net zero by by 2040” said Rupert Thompson, managing director of Hogs Back Brewery.
