Twisted Barrel Ale
Microbrewery
in Coventry,
West Midlands,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Twisted Barrel Brewery Tap House
Established in 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.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Light grapefruit juice gold, hazy with a somewhat thin off-white head. It does have a decent grapefruit aroma with gentle notes of blackberry alongside.taste is sweet and juicy with enough malt to ground it. Pink grapefruit, orange, elderberry. A tad more bitterness nearer the finish. Light body with soft carbonation. Predictable, maybe, but good.

440ml can in the Wrekin Inn on 29th January 2025. Hazy orange body, snow white crown. Citrus bite and fairly 'fizzy' mouthfeel, good body depth though and it certainly went down well.

Can. Gift from the missus. Been sat in the fridge ages and is now beyond its bbd. Pours with a massive swede. Looks decent once it’s settled. Nose has green coffee bean. Ashy earthy malt. Light fruity notes. Taste is dry and earthy with a modicum of sweetness. Super fizzy (obvs that’s my fault). Earthy finish. Bet this would have been great if I’d not stared at for so long, like a twat.

Tap at Sommar, Waterloo St, Birimingham. Misted gold with nice white top. This one had a soft malt quality with notes of lime, grapefruit, some zest and minerals. Semi drying, mid bodied. Solid enough.
