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.

Bottle from Twisted Barrel, Coventry, consumed at home Sunday 22nd October 2017 following a walk over the fields to Wendlebury and then onto Bicester and back to almost Ambrosden before being offered a lift home. Cooking Cauliflower and Cumin Soup. Pours a shockingly murky dirty puddle colour with a large white head head. Initially I got dusty furniture but after a while the fruit piles on with some sharp and zappy mango and passion fruit that really cuts through. Better than initial impressions suggested.
