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.

Cask @ The Abbey. Pours clear gold with a well-appointed off-white head. Aroma is breezy yeasty, light citrus. Taste is clean, light-bodied with a soft mouthfeel, smooth bready malt, distant citrus hints. It's a bit light but quite nicely rounded. Not bad.
