About Terra Tempo Brewing

Terra – meaning land, earth.   Tempo – weather, time.

We are a 100% Oak fermented wild beer brewery based in the traditional hop growing county of Surrey ; we use exclusively hops grown on-site  for all our brewing which is made on a 10BBL solar power kit located at Hogsback Brewery. The hops grown on-site are Cascade, Fuggles and a unique heritage hop : Surrey White Bine ; these are beautiful hops with an incredible depth of flavour, aroma and oil.  Alongside the home grown hops we are big fans of New Zealand varietals and of course the classic and modern hops from the USA which are used only for dry-hopping.  We source the highest quality fruit for all our beers which means it is not always grown in the UK but always high quality and organically produced.

Our processes are absolute minimal intervention using centuries old methods borrowed from World artisan culture, to make modern beer with a twist that twist is a depth of flavour that is unachievable in modern craft brewing.

The brewery seldom uses electricity, gas and all harmful brewery cleaning chemicals are reclaimed whenever possible.

We use vintage Portuguese red wine barrels previously holding Douro wine 750L sherry barrels, French Oak Bordeaux and a small number of whisky barrels that previously held one-off Islay drams alongside the ubiquitous bourbon barrels of which we use  JD for their reliability and adaptability for blending.

Although we employ centuries-old methods the past is only used as a gateway and a safety net to create the conditions for experimentation and innovation ; there is absolutely no attempt to create a product that is already established ; the beers are perpetually fermented via coolship using a ongoing fermentation culture then barrels are filled.  No fruit or hops are ever put into barrel.  for that we use stainless steel tanks to keep the barrel culture pure. 

Our approach to branding and visual is to reject the hegemony and look toward colours, textures and accessibility influenced by art, architecture, music, film and graphic design and textiles thru the ages.
