If you’ve never heard of us before, we are a relatively new microbrewery that started in a garage in Caversham by myself and my husband Mike, now based on the Portman Road in Tilehurst…right near Screwfix!
We produce a wide array of seasonal craft beers with a focus on using the best ingredients and an unwavering dedication to quality and craft. You can find our beers in some of Reading’s favourite pubs, restaurants and off-licenses all across town and further afield too!
Join us at our brewery and Taproom where you can come and enjoy our beers fresh from the source. It’s a great place to enjoy some Friday night beers or a leisurely Saturday afternoon with friends and family (and your dog!). With 12 brewery-fresh beers on tap, mouth-wateringly delicious street food, brewery tours and special events from comedy to supper clubs there is something for everyone!
It’s been a wild ride for us over the last few years – being a new brewery during a global pandemic wasn’t particularly lucky, but we are celebrating because we are still here and this November our brewery turns three!
To celebrate we have brewed a series of three exclusive collaboration beers with some of our closest friends in the brewing industry and they are a great showcase of the variety of styles we love to brew:
Everything But The Bulbs: Working with local brewery heroes Elusive Brewing and Siren Craft Brew from Finchampstead, this 10% Imperial Stout is an homage to Reading’s three B’s: Beer, Biscuits and Bulbs and is a real decadent treat. Full of rich and chocolatey biscuit notes from a complex malt profile this dark beer is perfect for sipping and sharing… so with beer and biscuits, it has everything but the bulbs!
Infinite Reflections: A beautifully hoppy 6% IPA – and as we are celebrating we’ve added triple the amount of hops we normally use in an IPA. Afraid of bitterness? Fear not! By adding this lush hop cocktail during conditioning (known as dry hopping) the result is a smooth, soft beer with notes of tropics and citrus. Brewed with two more brewery friends who started at a similar time to us – Duration Brewing from Norfolk and London’s Boxcar Brewery.
The Gum Wall: We love making sour beers at Double-Barrelled. Sour beer? Push images of sour milk and stale bread out of your mind – think vivid sour sweets and zingy fresh lemonade! This cherry and lime sour brewed with our pals at Norway’s Amundsen Brewery and Leeds’ Vocation tingles your tongue and is an explosion of flavour on your palate.
You can pick these experimentative beers up from the brewery this weekend, alongside our year-round heroes: Local lager Ding and Parka pale ale – we also offer free Friday local delivery to selected RG postcodes for orders over £30 via our webstore. Bring on the weekend!
