Brewery Overview
Connecticut-based Black Hog Brewing started with the story of food, family, and a love for craft beer.
Brothers Jason and Tom Sobocinski come from a Polish/Italian family where food and drink is always the focus of every gathering. From Jason’s wedding to his son’s birthdays, roasting a pig has become the favorite way to celebrate any special occasion, and the black Berkshire hog is their breed of choice.
Tyler Jones, an old family friend and former brewer of The Portsmouth Brewery in New Hampshire, contacted Jason and Tom with a plan to move to New Haven so his wife and son could be closer to their family. With a plan in the works to form a brewery that would celebrate family and food, they needed to encompass all that they were passionate about. When they celebrate, they roast a hog, thus Black Hog brewing was born!

Description
Before a big pig roast, we love to go on a long hike to get the blood flowin’ and our stomachs ready for a serious feast. To keep us going, we pack a few bags of crunchy granola. Then it came to us! Granola Brown allows us to have the best of both worlds - a refreshing brew with all the wonders of our delicious granola! Take this beer on your next hike or hike one up to your lips for a satisfying energy packed libation. Don’t want to pair your beer with a hike? Try our Granola Brown with a nutty Alpine cheese like Springbrook Tarentaise, Comte or Gruyere.
