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.

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5
Draft at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Very hazy dark orange with small white head. Aroma is slightly medicinal with a tangy tropical pineapple, papaya and a softer peach. Flavour of pineapple, guava, lime with a moderate but building bitter hop profile. Medium bodied with a fine lively carbonation which works well. Decent.

Where Is My Mild? from Twisted Barrel Ale

6.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 7
Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Light brown and clear with a sizeable buff head. Grainy aroma, light malt notes. Sweet taste with a sour bitterness near the finish. Chocolate malt, a hint of white pepper. Not the most exciting mild but certainly damn competent.
