Welcome back to another month of beautiful beer at Double-Barrelled – Tilehurst’s favourite family-owned microbrewery! If you haven’t heard of us before we are Double-Barrelled; a contemporary craft brewery committed to producing the freshest and most consistently delicious beers available! Founded by myself Luci and my husband Mike we started from humble beginnings in our garage at home in Caversham and have grown our business into a purpose built brewhouse and Taproom just off Portman Road. We love our hometown of Reading so much, and love banging the drum for all things ‘Ding!
Speaking of the Ding – have you seen our year-round lager, Ding? Crisp and refreshing, Ding takes inspiration from the classic Bavarian breweries of Munich and Bamberg to create a supremely refreshing pint. Pouring a beautiful golden colour with aromas of fresh bread, citrus fruits and freshly cut grass, Ding is perfect when paired with food and even better when shared with good company. You can find Ding popping up in all your favourite beery spots across town and is of course available all year round from our Taproom and online shop.
Summer is well and truly here at the brewery and things are hotting up at our onsite bar, the Taproom! You bring the factor 50 and we’ll bring the beers – with masses of room inside for those seeking shade we’ll also have our sun trap beer garden out in full force. Plonk yourself down at one of our huge German beer garden benches and grab a fresh pint of beer – it’s time to relax! Open from Thursday through to Sunday this is your one stop shop for all things hoppy and delicious. With independent street food vendors serving up mouth-watering bites every Friday and Saturday, and with a selection of light bites always available from the bar be sure to come hungry! Come and visit us at the following times: Thursday 5 – 8.30pm, Friday 4 – 8.30pm, Saturday 1 – 8.30pm, Sunday 12 – 5.30pm.
