A TILEHURST brewery celebrated its third birthday in style last weekend.
Double-Barrelled Brewery on Stadium Way hosted more than 350 craft ale fans at a special taproom event held on Saturday, November 13.
Tickets sold out online, making it one of the biggest events the brewery has held since it launched in 2018, and its busiest this year.
As there was no second birthday party due to coronavirus restrictions in place last year, this year’s event was all the more special.
“We wanted to hold a big event to make up for not being able to last year,” their spokesperson said.
The party atmosphere was enjoyed by a mixture of regulars and supporters who had travelled from across the country to be there. There was a selection of street food for revellers to enjoy alongside their drinks. Entertainment was provided by several Berkshire-based bands including doops, a Reading-based three-piece indie band being supported by BBC Music Introducing.
Three beers were brewed specially for the occasion, including Everything but the Bulbs, an imperial stout inspired by Reading’s three B’s: beer, biscuits and bulbs.
The company is owned by husband and wife team Mike and Luci Clayton-Jones, who are keen to highlight the work of their close-knit team of staff and pride in being a Reading-based business.
“Everyone worked together on it,” a spokesperson said. “We’re about being proud of where we’re from.”
The three birthday beers are now available to buy. They join flagship beers Parka, a pale ale, and Ding, short for Reading, which is a German style lager.
