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.

Half-pint, cask ale at Fox in Shoreditch. Next to clear golden-amber body, spotty lacing from a dissipating white head. Moderate smell of caramel malts, dry. Taste of caramel and bread, distant herbal hops. Ends very dry. Fair enough. (London 11.01.2019).
