the clue is - Strong Booze not posh enough to be brewed (5)

I have ?OGEN and thought it was Hogen - 'enough'
less U (posh) but cannot find any reference to the word in Chambers or the web.

Thanks crypto

I think there should have been a mention in the preamble to the crossword that the word was not found in regular dictionaries.


Cheers R
