About
Twisted Barrel Ale exploded onto the Coventry beer scene on 29th March 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.

Can that was part of my Beer Gonzo Advent Calendar box. Consumed at home Xmas Eve, Thursday 24th December 2020 listening to a lengthy Tom Misch mix on 6Music, we had a Kerala chicken curry for tea. Pours black with a light beige head, nose is peanutty and chocolate in the mouth more of the same, however I am picking up a lot of dusty hoppiness, slightly oily texture. I like Twisted Barrel but this is a little wide of my expectations and not really doing it for me.

On keg at Brewdog Lothian Road. Appearance - cloudy light brown. Somewhere between a puddle and milk. Nose - yeast green herbs. Dank. What is this supposed to be? Taste - green and yeast again. Palate - dry and light bodied. Overall - lacking generosity.
