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.

Light maltiness in mouth, a little woody edge with a creamy milk chocolate finish, tasty mild for a style not usually this tasty. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Bottle consumed at Cropredy, Fairports Annual Reunion Festival 2015, Thurs 13th, Friday 14th shared with Craig. Fuzzy hoppiness, soft mouthfeel, streaky lemon and lime sherberty bitterness. Colour is hazy gold with a white sticky head. After a few stouts (actually quite a few) this makes a pleasant change. Like this. A6 A3 T8 P4 Ov14 3.5
