Welcome back to Double-Barrelled brewery. Whether you’ve marched victoriously through Dry January or fallen from the wagon with style and grace we salute you! And if you haven’t heard of us before – welcome, we are Double-Barrelled: Tilehurst’s favourite independent, family-owned microbrewery. Come and find us on Stadium Way just off Portman Road!
February is one of our favourite months of the year – full of optimism for the year ahead, this is when our brewhouse shifts up a gear and our onsite bar – The Taproom – comes to life with new and exciting events! Here is our handy guide for all things DB in February:
New beers! We love brewing big flavourful hoppy beers at Double-Barrelled, and this month is no exception. Specialising in the contemporary “New England” style of brewing Pale Ales, our beers use mountains of the finest hops available – but you won’t find bitterness here, just bags of tropical fruit flavours with a riot of sweet citrus notes. And all our beers are 100% unfiltered (or unfined in brewer’s language) giving them a luminous hazy appearance. Hitting the pumps this weekend at the Taproom is our latest double bill of hoppy delights: Sessionable Pale Ale “Hanging Pictures on My Wall” – perfect for quaffing with friends, or if you want to turn things up to 11 try our new IPA “Conjunction Junction” full of sticky fruit cocktail flavours – delish!

Events at The Taproom! Sunday 6th February sees the return of Reading’s Indie Market to the brewery – transforming our brewery space into Reading’s premier pop-up indoor market hall! We love playing host to the Ding’s favourite crafters, bakers (candle stick makers?) for a fun day of celebrating all the amazing small, independent businesses on our doorstep and in our community. Join us for a leisurely peruse from pot plants to sourdough and all the way to jewellery and jams – all of course with a brewery fresh pint in hand! Looking to make a day out of it? Sounds like a plan – with artisan coffee from our friends at Anonymous Coffee, and middle-eastern street food boxes from Fink we’ll keep you fed and watered from 12 – 5pm.
