The Hogan's history
A whistlestop tour of just a few key dates spanning the last 30 years and a few thoughts on what the future may hold...
1985
This is John Stewart, a neighbour to the Hogans and the man who first introduced Allen to the art of cider making.
1995
Spent too long drinking John's damson wine....
2001
After a lifetime without electricity, John finally caught up with the times so he and Allen bought an electric scratter which was used to chop up the apples. Until then they’d used a scratter powered by the water driven mill.
2005
Officially taking the leap from amateur to professional, we commercially launched our two ciders - dry and medium. Allen proudly exhibited at every local event he could get to that summer!
2006
Our first proud appearance at the Royal Show in Stoneleigh with our instantly forgettable Irish branding!
2009
Our bottles had a little makeover and Hogan’s went international.
2010
Prestigious in the craft cider calendar, we won 1st prize at Putley in 2010 with our bottle fermented cider
2012
As we continued to grow our product range we created our first bag in box to take production in-house
2012/13
We won Bath & West 2 years on the trot, course we did!
2013
From Warwickshire with love -our first Russian exports to Belgorod to Hamilton's Irish pub
2016
Working with our local growers we’ve secured a supply of cider apples for future years. We’ve also installed a brand new kegging line giving greater scope for innovation for our Shaun!
