1 Bradfield Manor Farm, Hullavington, SN14 6EU, England
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.

Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Clear yellow golden color, average sized white head. Smell and taste malts, moderately bitter. Something a bit off in the aroma though, I get a hint of vomit. Flavor is ok, bit boring but ok.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 20/5/2016. Deep chestnut in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Plum fruits, toasty malts, a hint of chocolate, brown sugar and dryish finish. Good.

Cask at Chippenham Beer Festival. Clear amber. Juicy yet dry, with fruits (especially orange) and some light straw. Grew on me after an unimpressive start.
