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.

2/1/2022. Bottle at the New Year beer share. From Kew Gardens courtesy of MrsB. Pours clear dark amber bronze with a large frothy off-white head. Good looking pour. Aroma of malt, caramel, raisin, date, bread, fruit cake, touch of honey. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness and body. Oily watery texture, quite fizzy. Pretty decent apart from the fizz.

Half-pint, cask, after breakfast at Willow Walk (JDW). Shared with Finn. A decent beige head blanketing the glass, clear mahogany coloured body. Good looking, indeed. Moderate smell of earthy malts with scent of caramel. Quite fine balanced taste profile of brown malts and herbal hops. Dry ending, mid-sweet with a caramel twist. Quite alright. (London 20.11.2021)

Pours black in colour with a small frothy beige head that settled to a thin film. The aroma is lightly roasted, chocolatey, with some dark berry notes. A moderately to light sweet taste, chocolate, and dark berry flavours with a smooth light dryness and fruity bitterness in the finish.
