Description
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.

Tap at Luppolo Station in Rome. Mango pulp pour all the way, head is mininimal or almost absent. Nose: sweet mango and dunk hoppy aroma. Mouth: thin, pleasantly tart, a bit of pink grapefruit and mango. Easy and thirsty quenching.

Can at LKS. It pours hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, sweet, sticky, apricot, peach, sticky, fruit pie, brioche and candy. The taste is dry, bitter, pithy, zesty, green, grassy, peppery spice, wood, booze, cointreau and wood with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Punchy stuff. Decent.

Can shared in London - thanks to Dave. Pours lightly hazy gold with a frothy, pure white head. Nice citrusy nose, some pith, peach, tangerine. Light-medium sweet flavour with more peach and tangerine, mellow rindy bitterness, nectarine. Meidum bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly warming finish with more citrus fruit, tangerine, melon, restrained bitterness. Solid.
