Monty Python Holy Grail Ale

Tempered over burning witches, Monty Python’s Holy Grail Ale has been a beer the CU Brew Guy has been contemplating trying for a while now.

Brewed by the Black Sheep Brewery in North Yorkshire, Holy Grail Ale was initially created in honor of the 30th anniversary of Monty Python’s most universally well-known masterpiece. Here it is 12 years later and this cult beer is still making the rounds claiming to have more hops than a killer rabbit and a dangerously fruity flavor that may or may not be elderberries.

This beer also has the privilege of being Black Sheep’s best selling beer in both the United States and Canada, however, I’m willing to wager a life time worth of religious relics that Holy Grail’s popularity is a result of the movies popularity and not because of the beer itself.

There is nothing wrong with Holy Grail as a beer, but there isn’t anything special with it either. Absent of any bells, whistles, or uniquely identifying traits, Holy Grail ale is just a standard run of the mill blonde ale. Clean, crisp, and smooth, this beer goes down easy without leaving any after taste.

Although Holy Grail Ale doesn’t bring anything special to the table, you’ll certainly want to try this brew at least once with a friend named Tim. After all, what would a Monty Python beer be if not a cheeky good time?
