Workhouse Coffee shop recognised as one of the best in Britain

Published

on

Workhouse coffee is an independent coffee company conceptualised by people wanting to create a unique and exciting experience in coffee. For workhouse this means sticking to our original ideals and not deviating from these. This is why nearly 10 years ago they opened a coffee house with the bar sideways and an open section on the bar to encourage transparency and allow the customers to get involved.

The cornerstones of the business model are driven by ethics, quality, and experimentation. They trade directly with the farms we buy from ensuring the farmers are paid a fair price for their beans. They make buying decisions based purely on what is the very best coffee available – irrespective of price. Lastly, they are constantly experimenting with the layout of our shops and the way the customers interact with our product. This means involving people in the coffee experience and making the process of building your drinks overt and accessible.

They are excited to now be able to offer you the opportunity to buy our award winning coffee online. For those of you that are unfortunate enough to not be able to visit one of our local shops simply click on the Buy Coffee link and see which of our hand roasted single origin coffees or specifically formulated blends is right for you.

Secret Jewel – Double-Barrelled Brewery in Reading West

Published

on

By

The concept of Double-Barrelled originated with co-founders Mike & Luci Clayton-Jones upon their marriage in 2015. Mike, a dedicated home brewer, had long nurtured a passion for crafting beer. Their first branded “Double-Barrelled” beer served as a wedding favor, paying homage to Mike’s surname. Embracing the joy of creating their own beer brand and sharing it on a larger scale, this initial venture laid the foundation for their journey.

Following their wedding, Mike and Luci embarked on a year-long beer exploration, traveling over 84,000 miles worldwide. Their aim was to gather inspiration, source unique ingredients, and observe emerging trends in the beer industry. As they journeyed, they refined their ideas and crafted a business plan. Returning to Reading brimming with excitement for the future, they began brewing on a small commercial scale from their garage in Caversham, all while continuing to work within the industry.

Today, Double-Barrelled operates from a 6,400 SqFt warehouse on the outskirts of Reading. They brew on a 24Hl brewhouse and package all their beers onsite using their own 5-head canning line. Their inaugural beers from this site were released in November 2018.

The brewery produces a diverse range of beers, constantly evolving and available for sale both across the UK and internationally. This success is owed in part to the dedicated and diligent individuals who form the company’s exceptional team.

Double-Barrelled has garnered recognition for their commitment to quality and passion, earning multiple awards since their inception. These accolades encompass entrepreneurship, hospitality, taproom experience, and most importantly, the quality of their beers.

Let’s show your support to our independent busineses here in Reading West.

Double-Barrelled Brewery is located at Unit 20 Stadium Way, Tilehurst, Reading RG30 6BX
