Twickenham Grandstand

Classic Amber Session Bitter - that's what it says on the label and that pretty much nails it. Almost bronze in colour, it's triple hopped with a good dose of Brewer's Gold which brings a bit of spice, classic earthiness and even a hint of blackcurrant. It's got the refreshingly bitter edge you'd expect and finishes crisp and clean with light touch of citrus.

When the initial barrels starting rolling out of Twickenham Fine Ales in 2005 they were the first to be brewed in the town since 1906. On the back of their bottles you'll spot the motto Inspired by Tradition which sums up their ethos pretty well. Don't mix them up with new wave indie breweries. Mango-infused IPAs and lactose-laden imperial stouts aren't their stock-in-trade. Better to think of them as a bastion of brewing sanity in this dizzying age of anything goes.
