About
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.

Bottle at Chriso Tasting, thanks to Chriso, 04/04/15. Light black with reddish hues topped with a decent dirty tan head. Nose is tarte red berry, earthy, biscuit, spice, bitter fruit rinds. Taste comprises dark fruit rinds, woody notes, tarte raspberries, musty tones, toffee, light spice, red berry balsams. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close with puckering effect. Solid stuff, kind of a crossover with a sour red.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Golden-blonde with a thin head. Fruit hopped ale with plenty of orange flavour. There’s some sugary sweetness in its nose alongside the orange notes.

Cask @ The George On The Strand, London. Copper with a malty nose, but a much more interesting malty-fruit taste.

Tap@The Green Man, City, London - fuzzy golden amber pour with white head. Citrus fruity and floral aroma and taste, bready malts, light caramel, way to cold on the pour, but once slightly warmed up was brought to life somewhat, pretty ok brew overall.

Cask gravity at the 2015 London Drinker beer festival. Light amber / dull orange with a greyish speckled head. Aroma is grainy , tobacco, weed, fairly subdued. Flavour is composed of grainy slightly stale grains, more weed, spicy hop, little citrus. Lingering cereal grains and bacon crisps. Palate is medium light bodied with some grainynes on the tongue, decent cask condition. Bit light maybe.
