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.

Cask at The Metropole, JDW, Baker Street, Lahndan tahn 29-07-08 Pours light amber with thin white head. Decent fruity bitter that comes across as a really good session beer, nice bitterness that stays and ending with a dry finish. There’s a lot to like in this for 3.8% beer, wish I’d have had a pint and didn’t have a train to catch.

Cask handpull at The Fox, Twickenham. Gold, lasting thin beige head. Lovely citrusy hoppy aroma. Very refreshing, like a souped up JHB. Tangerine etc on flavour, pink grapefruit. Cracking pint, very good condition and just so drinkable

Cask gravity at Ealing Beer Festival 2008. Gold, thin bubbly off white head. Little bit of sulphur on aroma, but the malts are good. It’s actually a really satisfying best bitter. Good fullness. Nice bitterness which lasts on the finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Edgar Wallace, London WC2. Amber/red colour with a moderate white head. Caramel, red fruit and earthy hop aroma. Flavour had plenty of fruit before a slightly conflicting citrus dry finish. Good.
