“It takes two flints to make a fire”

Where did the inspiration for your brewery name come from? For Alex Kerr, founder of Windsor, Berkshire-based Two Flints, he has his own story to tell. And drawing influence from the famous quote from Louisa May Alcott’s coming-of-age novel Little Women was just the place to start.

Opening at the end of 2022, Two Flints recently has marked its second anniversary brewing in Berkshire.

A town that has been the home of Windsor and Eton Brewery for more than 10 years, Alex Kerr and his team have given beer fans another new spot for excellent beer. And soon after in 2023, they would soon be joined in Windsor by neighbours Indie Rabble, the brewery founded by Naomi and Dave Hayward.

Since starting out, Two Flints has made its name with a series of excellent hop-forward, hazy pale ales and IPAs such as Santiago, Never End and Big Bash. But they also make superb lagers and other styles, too.

In this episode we speak with Alex to learn about his early influences and how he found a passion for brewing while living in Singapore.

We discuss his fascination with hops and the qualities they impart on the beers they brew, the importance of Two Flints’ taproom and also reflect on his desire for continuous improvement in everything that they do.
