Description
2016 saw our founders set off on the beer research trip of a lifetime.

And on their return in 2017, they set up Double-Barrelled from a garage in Caversham. By the end of 2018, Double-Barrelled scaled up to a 24hl brewery and onsite taproom in Tilehurst, Reading.

Pilegrimsleden går alltid via The Rake i Borough Market, som bare var en "greasy spoon" når vi bodde der. Fra fat: uklar gylden med fint skum som varer til bunns. Citrusparade med ananas og syreblader i tillegg. God maltsmak for en lettøl, og fin bitterhet i avslutningen.

Third of a pint at the Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival on 25th September 2025. Slight haze to the dull golden body, white head. Tropical fruit aroma and taste, so many of the beers at the festival had the same flavours, got bored with this one.

Very slightly hazy pale gold with a frothy white head and a citrus and subdued juicy fruit aroma. Light and fruity, mellow tropicals and sweet citrus fruit, hop bitterness and a dry bittersweet finish.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a slightly hazy greenish tinged yellow with a small foamy almost white head. There’s citrus, lemon and floral hops in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet but with a smidgen of underlying bitterness and a light texture. Favour has floral hops and citrus with a little malts also. Hints of grapefruit and kiwi come later. Finish is dry with some sharpness. This is decent – better than I expected.

[On tap at the Greyfriar, Reading.] A cloudy amber pour with an immediate fast fading white head; rather lacking in aroma, perhaps some stone fruit?; also much thinner than expected with a milky body and a muted fruity taste; then a bitter finish with some medicinal notes; and a lingering reminder of hospital disinfectant.

Taste comprises grapefruit, mandarin, light stone fruit, grass, pine resin.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy to lightly resinous hop bitterness allied to a mellow boost.
Solid juicy DIPA that maintains a good bitter balance.
