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.

Keg at Twisted Barrel Taproom, 04/03/16. Hazed golden orange with a decent egg shell white covering. Nose is bitter orange, toasted bread, melon, grain, earthy hop. Taste comprises light pine, grain, toasted bread, orange pith, mineral notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi aggressive hop bitterness in the close. Quite the bitter bastard for the ABV ... Decent job.

Cask at the Pup and Duckling, Solihull. Poured a hazy medium amber with a broken white head. The aroma is citrus, grassy hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a big citrus fruit grass nettle light pepper spice palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Super fresh and fruity. Superb.
