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.

Bottle shared at RBESG 2014 Grand Tasting. Hazy yellow color, small off-white to beige head. Aroma is hugely herbal and spicy. Tastes the same. Absolutely horrible, way way way too much herbs and spices, vegetables and plant like. Horrible.

Bottle shared during the RBESG 2014 London Grand Tasting - Moncada Brewery. Pours hazy gold with a creamy white head. The nose brings to mind pickle juice - not an entirely bad thing, since I like pickle juice. Light sweet flavor, somewhat drying, with soft melon notes and mellow grassy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Abstractly fruity on the finish. Novel. Not bad.

Bottle at RBESG, 2014’s Grand Tasting at the Moncada Brewery. Hazy gold pour with a white head. Ginger, coriander and spicy fruit in the nose. Moss, grassy-malt, stewed veg and mint in the flavour. Not a fan of cucumber-esque.flavours in beers, unfortunately that’s the predominant flavour for me.

RBESG pt 18. Moncada. Grand tasting. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, dry. Light dry malts. Mild spice. Juniper gin vibes. Whisper of mint. Dry finish. Curious but engaging.

Bottle from Beer Gonzo, Coventry. It pours hazy orange with a medium white head. The nose is soft, fruity, strawberry, cucumber, light jam and Victoria Sponge. The taste is rather bitter, big orange character, grapefruit peel, lime, sherbet, resin, pepper, light grass and dough with a lingering pretty dry finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Plenty of flavour for the abv. Fruity and rather bitter. Nice work!

Bottle from Beer Gonzo. It pours near black with medium a beige head. The nose is roasty, toast, dark chocolate, coffee and light vanilla. The taste is roasted malt, charred wood, light bitterness, coffee, nut, mild acidity and earth a dry, bitter finish. Light-medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty nice all round and a promising start to these guys.
