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 at Akkurat, Stockholm, 5 March 2024) Dark amber colour with frothy, tan head. Malty nose with toffee, caramel, bread, earthy hops and a touch of black-currant. Malty taste with notes of caramel, toffee, chocolate, bread, dried apricots and a mild earthy bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Hazy drab gold with a frothy/creamy white head and sweet malt and a hint of fruit on the nose. Medium bodied, you can sense a bit of an alcohol hit, it’s a slightly strange mix of grassy malt, caramel and floral hops, with an earthy quality to it

330ml bottle, thanks Mike for getting hold of this. Pitch black pour with a meagre amount of bubbles atop. A bit lifeless in the glass, but bears a nice palate-coating chocolate and bourbon character.. cakey hints.. easy-drinking for strength. Here's to 15 more years of Monty's 🍻
