Established in 2008
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 at GBBF 25. Slightly opaque dark gold. Frothy foamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a slightly spur edge. Flavourwise it's also rather sweet. A hint of bitterness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice enough.

Keg at GBBF 25. Opaque amber-gols. Thick foamy white head. Aroma is sweet with a citrus streak. Tangy. Citrusy. Underlying malts. Before developing a metalic streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Hmm. Alright. Could do without the metallic elements and a tad unbalanced.

6/8/2025. Cask at GBBF 2025. Malty, husky, slightly starchy aroma. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Some dryness to finish. Not a big fan of this.

500 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.0%. Slightly hazy brown colour, moderate white head. Aroma of berries and citrus, on a background of toast-like malts, a hint of burnt breadcrumbs. Citric mouthfeel. The flavour has citrus, malts, toast, a hint of toffee, but is overall quite dry. Moderate bitterness.

Old notes from Nov 2014 - A bottle brought from the Spar shop in Montgomery, only a couple of miles from the brewery. Poured into a Liberation Ale pint glass. It has a golden look with a white foamy head. The taste has a hint of honey and goes down quite easily with it's rounded finish.

Old rating - A 500ml bottle from Montgomery village shop in the spring of 2014, poured at home in Jersey 28/08/14. It's golden with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, citrus, grain, grass, bread & sweet malt. Medium body. Mildly bitter finish. Enjoyable, more a bitter than IPA that the bottle label states
