Farmyard Frolics & Proper Pints at Cogges

We’ve just rolled back from the Cogges Beer & Cider Festival, and what a weekend it was. True to form, Hitchcox didn’t arrive quietly. Nestled in the rustic charm of Cogges Manor Farm, this annual knees-up proved once again to be a glorious celebration of beer, cider, music, and good cheer — and we were chuffed to be part of it.

Our outside bar took centre stage — all curves, gleam, and apple-fuelled attitude — serving up our finest blends to keep spirits high and conversations flowing. From the seasoned cider sippers to the curious newcomers lured in by the aroma of spiced apple mischief, we had something for every glass.

Live music kept toes tapping, street food fuelled the fun, and yes — our cider makers may have showcased a few questionable dance moves (all in the name of good spirits, of course).

It was more than just pouring pints; it was sharing stories, meeting old friends and new, and soaking up that unmistakable festival buzz. If you stopped by the barrels and said hello, we hope you left with a smile — and maybe a new favourite cider.

Until next year, Cogges — thanks for having us.
