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.

500ml bottle, shared with Phil in my bar. Rich amber body, clean and clear, on top an off-white crown. Malty front with a decent hop background. Typical Welsh ESB, meaning it's fairly sweet and malt forward.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Dark brown and translucent with a small smattering of beige head. Flowery aroma, some bready malt, chocolate and a little red liquorice. Taste is sweet without being cloying. Finishes with a gentle bitterness. Soft to medium carbonation. Very nice.

Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 14/09/24. Almost clear golden orange with a fast escaping white head. Nose is straw, grains, orange zest, hedgerow. Taste comprises pale malts, hint of apple, grass, hedgerow, herb. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Twiggy gold ... not great.
