Monty Python's Holy Ale

Every New Year’s Eve I pick out some interesting beer to try out during the night’s festivities. This year, while completing a quest at BevMo, I came across Monty Python’s Holy Ale, which is “tempered over burning witches”. It is brewed by The Black Sheep Brewery located in Masham, North Yorkshire, England and was commissioned to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Monty Python. Of course it is also a tribute to one of the greatest films of all time, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”. Legend has it that drinking this beer it may cause the French to “fart in your general direction”.

Ha! I have an empty bottle of that sitting on my mantle from a house warming party 2 years ago. Got it from a friend who knew I like Monty Python but has never seen’em herself. Pretty good beer too, btw.
