Twickenham Fine Ales is a microbrewery in Twickenham in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Founded by Steve Brown in 2004, it claims to be the first brewery in Twickenham since the closure of Cole’s Brewery in 1906.[1] It opened in September 2004[2] and is now one of the oldest microbreweries in London.[3] It has been brewing at its current premises in Mereway Road, Twickenham[4] since December 2012.[3]
Its range of ales includes Naked Ladies, named after the statues in the gardens of York House, Twickenham.[2] A bottled version of this beer was launched in 2013.[5]
