Description
Mark and Helena Dearman set up Twisted Wheel Brew Co with their daughters Laura and Charlotte in October 2019. Located at the former Windmill Brewery site in Standish, Wigan. Relocated in Winter 2020 to Westbrook, Warrington.

They announced that they were closing towards the end of 2022, however, the former head brewer Anthony Barrett bought the brand in the beginning of 2023. But in March 2023 they couldn't use the facility any longer and plans had to be changed. Their beers were cuckoo brewed, initially at Ben's Brewery Ltd but then at C'84 Brew Co.

In 2024 it moved again to share premises with McCanns in Tenterden, Kent, under the umbrella company United Craft Beverages. An extensive range of beer is available in cask, can and keg.

--Cask at The Greyfriar, Reading. -- Murky straw colour. Generous aroma of mango and papaya. Mid sweet with light to medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with mango puree and lychee. Some hop burn. Low bitterness. The hop burn disturbs.

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with minimal white head. Some hints of tropical fruits and citrus in the aroma. In the mouth it is berry fruits which are more predominant. There’s also grains and tangerines along with traces of pineapple and citrus fruits. Finish is slightly dry ith some summer fruits. It’s OK, but a bit too citrus for me.

Hand-pulled pint at The Pheasant Inn & Brewhouse, Wellington Shropshire on 5th May 2022. Misty old gold body, white crown. Grapefruit esters and flavours ooze from the hops, the malts defo playing second fiddle in this one.
