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.

On tap at Twisted Barrel, Coventry, with Dad and Pauline. Saturday 7th October 2017 Murky amber with a sticky white head head. Initially I got a hint of chemical taint on the nose, however to be fair this never materliased on subsequent sips. Really good body, hefty amber with a great flavour, toffee and hops combine wonderfully. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

On tap at Twisted Barrel, Coventry, with Dad and Pauline. Saturday 7th October 2017 Dark lemon squash coloured beer with a few stray bubbles but really very little in the way of carbonation at all. Yep this is a very sour beer, very sour but there is a little papery edge and it is hoppy. Nice beer. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

On tap at Twisted Barrel, Coventry, with Dad and Pauline. Saturday 7th October 2017 Yellow in colour, sunshine yellow with a slim white filmy head. Fruity the passion fruit offers a nice tang, zippy and zappy across the tongue. Nice wheaty bite but the fruit is great. Really enjoyable. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4
