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.

Key Keg at The White, Harborne, Birmingham, West Midlands. Birmingham Beer Day Walk, Saturday 9th December 2017. Pours dirty amber with a white filmy head. Vanilla and caramel, the rum ageing lends a slight harsh edge, a bit chewy, boozy, it's ok, I am not fan of Rum Cask beers and this is no exception, wish I had of noticed the rum info prior to ordering.

Bottle at home, 08/12/17. Clear light golden with a decent off white head. Nose is wheaten bread, light citirc peel, toasted malts, orange peel, light spice, nana chews. Taste comprises cloves, yeast flicker, more nana chews, straw, grains. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation ... a touch OTT on this front, semi drying close. Ok offering but let down by the carbonation for me.
