Twickenham Fine Ales
Microbrewery
in Twickenham,
Greater London,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Twickenham Fine Ales Brewery Shop and Bar
Established in 2004
The early days of experimentation and trial settled down with the arrival of Tom Madeiros, as Brewer, in 2005. Being American the use of American hops seemed a natural path and Twickenham became an early adopter of the now popular and more common place hops used in many beers today.
The variety of hops grew and Twickenham now uses hops from countries including: England, Germany, Slovenia, USA, Australia and New Zealand.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A reddish chestnut pour with a tight cream head; sugary malt aroma; rather thin, but smooth, sweet and malty with a touch of winter spices. A pleasant wintry ale.

Cask at Prince Arthur, Fleet. Darkest with a red tint. Thin foamy beige head. Aroma has raspberry and cacao. Flavourwise it is then quite limp. Very mild coffee and watery raspberry with cardboard malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Not great.

Cask at Prince Arthur, Fleet. Darkest amber. Opaque. Foamy beige head. Bitter. Woody. Slightly vinous. Tangy light sour. Underlying sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Doesn't do much for me... just differing takes on bitterness.

Hand pulled pint in The Hope & Champion (Spoons in Beaconsfield Service Station) on 23rd July 2025, enroute to Heathrow and our flight to California. Pale golden body, almost fully clear and clean, white affair on top. Citrus front with a floral influence in both the nose and taste, light herbal undertones. All a bit subtle.
