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.

Half-pint, cask at Babington Arms (JDW). Shared with Finn. A beige head blanketing the glass. Clear amber-gold body. Smell of herbal hops and pale malts. Grain mingled with peaches to the taste buds. Hints of leafy hop bitterness to the finish. Fair enough, nice with the breakfast food (Derby 21.02.2016).

Fra fat på Babington Arms i Derby 21 Feb 16. Delt med Rune. Varm gyldengul. Syltynt filmskum. Forsiktig druearoma. Smaken utvannet fersken. Blir litt syrlig etter hvert.

From a bag in a box at the Hope & Anchor, Bristol October 2015. Dark purple with a touch of carbonation. A dryish cider, with some juicy apple fruit and some tart berries lurking in the background. Unusual and pretty good.

Cask at GBBF ’15, day 3, 13/08/15. Clear golden with an off white cap. Nose is straw, pale malt, bready notes, faint citric leanings. Taste comprises much the same, pretty muted flavours. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close with light bitterness. So so.
