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.

En snartur innom lokalen sammen med Steven, fra cask: lett uklar lys gylden med utmerket skum. Grapefrukt, urter, litt bitterappelsin og gress i en velsmakende maltkropp.

Half-pint, shared with Finn. A beige head over a deep black body, rich lacing. Promising, slightly roasted malty aromas, scents of fruit to it. Taste fine with moments of chocolate malts, liquorice and dark fruits. Satisfying roasted bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied. Like it. (London, 11.02.2025).
