Description
Monty’s Brewery is based just a short distance from the ancient castle town of Montgomery, on the Powys - Shropshire border. Monty’s Brewery was founded in 2008 by husband and wife team Russ and Pam Honeyman since then they have established the brewery as one of the leading breweries in Wales. Producing beers of many styles, with a focus on gluten free and low alcohol beers the brewery prides itself on its range having won many awards.

In this new world of sustainability and with a focus on the environment Monty’s is driving towards a more sustainable process. In the brewery we heat the water for each brew from the previous brew through plate heat exchangers, all helping to keep our carbon footprint down as much as we can. We don’t use any plastic in our packaging, and our waste grain, feeds local cattle, our first and last beer run-ins which would be a waste product are fed to a herd of Welsh Wagyu.

Cask @ Three Fishes, Shrewsbury. Pours a clear deep gold, white head. Serviceable cask pale, surprisingly sweet with pleasant cereal malt. Decent.

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. Appearance - golden amber with a thin white head. Nose - floral honey, orange and fudge. Taste - honey, syrup, sweet, brown bread and burnt toast. Palate - medium bodied with general sweetness. Overall - heading towards something a bit one dimensional, but still enjoyable.

Cask @ Cromwell's Tap House. Proper hazy look in the glass, slowly clearing a bit. Very mild hop profile, some mild grassy citrus, cereal malt but really not comparable to a standard hazy pale. Perhaps a cooler keg temp would reveal more flavour.
