Following in the footsteps of "Holy Grail" and "Brian - A Very Naughty Pale Ale", 'Flying Circus - A Very Silly IPA' is our third collaborative brew with the Black Sheep Brewery and is set to be a big hitter! It will launch to the trade this month.
At 4.5%, Flying Circus is brewed with First Gold, Galena and Amarillo hops to offer a complex nose of fresh citrus and juicy peach. A mash bill of pale ale malt and crystal rye give the beer a light red tinge and subtle notes of biscuit and caramel. It's full bodied and smooth with a lovely bitter punch.
Jo Theakston at Black Sheep Brewery is a Monty Python super-fan so can't wait to see how it goes down in trade. “As with 'Brian' and 'Holy Grail', we are expecting 'Flying Circus' to be a real talking point at the bar, as drinkers reminisce about and recite the classic lines from one of the world’s most iconic comedy troupes.
“Our Python-inspired beers have grown to become regular and permanent fixtures among our range, and we are expecting 'Flying Circus' to be a hit among Black Sheep drinkers and all fans of Monty Python.
“We have enjoyed a longstanding partnership with Monty Python and there will be plenty of ‘sillyness’ and enjoyment during spring from our latest Python brew!
Flying Circus will be available on cask throughout the country, be sure to let us know via Twitter or Facebook if you spot it out-and-about.
