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.

440ml can from Tuffin's Craven Arms after a 44 mile ride. Pours a relatively clear gold, perhaps a fine mist.. good fluffy white head. Aroma of malt grain. Taste bears that distinctive Monty's grainy malt character, quite sweet with an earthy bitterness. Fine pale bitter.

Bottle from Coed-Y-Dinas, Welshpool. Clear golden with a small head. Its honey is light but dominant in this brew, mainly as there's little else if not, other than being fairly easy to sup
