Twisted Barrel Ale
Microbrewery
in Coventry,
West Midlands,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Twisted Barrel Brewery Tap House
Established in 2014
After months of hard work developing a small selection of beers that would appeal to Coventry's patrons thirsting for our unique mix of modern and classical styles and methods we launched our beers at Coventry's number 1 bottle bar, Inspire, and it was a huge success. Originally brewing on a 60 litre kit, we described ourselves as 'the UK's first Pico-brewery'.
20th June 2015 and we held another launch. This time in our brand new Brewery and Tap House at FarGo Village. With a new 1000 litre brewing kit and an entirely new brand design from Stewart Easton, we've finally become the brewery we always set out to be. Almost 2 years later we transferred our bar and brewing kit into a space about 5 times larger than before, we're still serving the best beer at FarGo Village.

Gravity cask at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Lighter gold, hazy and fairly flat. Some apricot, overripe oranges and various tropical fruit in the aroma. Nice but a bit muddled. Tastes very nice, more citrus and tropical notes, notably nectarine, passionfruit and maybe a little bit of guava. Sweet at first, turning itself to a decent bitterness just at the finish. Light, oily body, very soft carbonation. I forget how good Galaxy pales are. This is imperfect but overall lovely.

Black beer, tan head. Light and malty with a little fruit. Flavour has something a little funky, which adds to an otherwise unremarkable but malty, sessionable stout eith a dash of chocolate.
