Description
Twickenham Fine Ales was the first brewery in Twickenham since Cole’s Brewery closed in 1906. In the beginning there was a 10 barrel plant which was installed in a small unit opposite a Greggs Bakery factory – pint and a pasty seeming natural bedfellows.
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 Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A mahogany coloured pour with a thick cream head; aroma of citrus and malt; dry bready malt taste with a touch of citrus; and a clean zesty finish that drys the mouth completely.

From tap at Moon & Stars in Penge, London, with JFE 01.10.22 on leg 10 of the Green Chain Walk. Excellent aroma and taste of fresh hops, just as when you open a pack of hops, citrus, grass and pale malt. Served in perfect condition. Very good!
