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.

Pale and hazy with a small white head. The aroma is pleasantly distinct, with lots of exotic fruits, citrus, pine, but also wheat. Full-bodied, balanced, and velvety, with a strong influence from the oats and wheat; low carbonation. The flavour is restrained, featuring berries, stone fruit, peach, passion fruit, and grapes, along with a grapefruit-like bitterness. Wonderfully hoppy and incredibly smooth!
