Description
Situated in the rural village of Hullavington, Wiltshire, we are a family-owned brewery where quality comes first. Fresh air and abounding countryside provides the ideal setting to produce a perfectly balanced product (Elmers, Mighty Monk and Habit are all award-winning ales). First brewed in February 2014. The brewery changed hands in early 2020.

Flying Monk Brewery began a new chapter in 2020 when it was acquired by the farm on which it is located. This has not only allowed us to waste less – for example, using the by-product from brewing (i.e spent grain as cattle feed) – but we have more time to focus on what matters most: making great beer for our local community.

[3/4/21, rating 5/3/4/2/9] Bottle that M&D gave me which apparently they got from the brewery itself - cheers! Golden-amber with a white head and a light fizz. Biscuit with sourish lemon and a hint of wee. Not great, and disappointing as I've enjoyed other beers from this brewer. Sad then that I've got a second bottle of this - I can only hope that there was something wrong with this bottle and that the second one might be better... [10/4/21 5/3/5/2/10] OK, time to see if the second bottle (same source) is any better. Looks the same as I remember. Flavour of white bread, slightly sour lemon, a hint of white pepper and some cardboard. So... no urine, which is an improvement on the first bottle. I still don't like it much though. Rating added to the site is the average of the two bottles.

Bottle from Mum & Dad - cheers! Clear bronze colour with a white head and a middling fizz. Caramel, grassy hops and a touch of orange and kiwi. Good balance of bitter and sweet. Decent bitter.

Hazy red amber colour thin head. Some malt some pepper hop. It's a best bitter with a little sweet fruit otherwise. It's ok if run of the mill.
