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, cask, at The Cross Keys in Covent Garden. Crystal clear, copper-amber body with just a bubbly ring around the rim of the glass. Modest malt-fruity aroma. Mild resinous hops in flavour supported by earthy malts. Bitter hints to the finish. Very average for the style (London, 02.08.2009) (no.2470).

Cask at Ealing beer fest 2009. Golden pour with small head. Slight hoppy aroma. Citrus, hoppy taste. An OK beer but Twickenham ales don’t really do it for me.
