It's a fair walk out of the city centre to this brewery and bar, located in the Fargo Village complex of shops, cafes and eateries. But the walk is worth it.
I last visited here in January, 2018 and little has changed in the meantime. There is a large space with the brewing equipment to the right-hand side as you enter, plenty of bench seating to the left-hand side and the bar against the rear wall. Unisex toilets can be found to the right side of the bar. We also spotted a pinball machine near to the bar.
Both cask and keg are dispensed from the rear wall. A couple of handpulls to the left side of the bar had a real ale from Twisted Barrel - Out of Routine, with no sign of a real cider. Keg fonts had 11 keg/key keg beers from the brewery, ranging from 3.5-10% - Hops of Love, Sine Qua Non, Life Is Shorts, Stolen Days, Transfixion, For Tokyo!, Dark Night Rises, Beast of a Midlands Mild, God's Twisted Sister, We Are Prom Girls & Are Forever. Guests were Pastore Limone, Arbor Shangri-La & Tap Social Inside Out. The cider was Hogan's Draught.
A beard and beer festival was on, with some rather impressive beards on display just to the front of the premises.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Twisted Barrel Tap House
After an abortive visit four years ago (my fault, because I hadn't checked the opening times properly), but this place has been transformed in the meantime. The brewery layout has been transformed, with the bar now at the back of the rather cavernous shed (with a great display of unusual portraits), and the brew kit off to the right-hand side. I found 16 of the 24 craft keg taps on the bar-back in use, offering beers in a huge range of styles. However, there are also a couple of less-obvious handpumps behind the counter, offering the Hope is Important cask mild (excellent value at £2.80) and a draught cider.

This Brewery Tap will divide opinion.Based in an industrial shed in the trendy Fargo Village development,it really should be in Hoxton given the ale options.It's much like other brewery taps,lots of shiny brewing kit about,barrels littered all over the place,a pin ball machine, lots of bench seating,but thankfully some space heating on a chilly night.The lavs are unisex,although the audience was mainly male.Some decent muzak helped build an atmosphere in the large space.
The bar has an illuminated sign giving lots of detail about the offering from 24 key keg taps on the wall behind.The variety was almost bewildering although the young bar staff happily give out advise.On my trip there were 13 brews from Twisted Barrel,lots of guest options and some ciders.The ale styles was very wide,knockout IPA's,Double IPA's,Sours ,Saisons,Belgian Tripels,a golden stout,fruit flavoured beers,you name it ,they probably brew it.A lot of beers were unfined and some really murky pints turned up but all tasted great.There isn't a lot of low strength ,so this place may not suit if you are a boring brown beer person,and needless to say I quaffed a lot of pokey ale and weaved my way out !(for the record I sampled TB Lokia Moca Pale,Naido and Mmmm all very interesting flavours )
If you want to take a shot at the modern style of brewing ,and chance your arm with some weird beer,you will enjoy this place.It's in the 2018 GBG now that CAMRA are ok with key kegs.
Go on be brave and give it a go.I will certainly be back.
