It will return in December 2018! He’s not the messiah though, he’s a very naughty boy!įollowing the success of Holy Grail and Brian, it seemed only fitting to join forces for a third beer to complete the trilogy. At 3.9%, this very naughty pale ale is always a huge hit when released in cask.

Various names were suggested and following a poll on Facebook to over 1.2 million Python fans, Brian was chosen as the new name for our Christmas beer – a nod to the cult classic film ‘Life of Brian’.

In 2016, we launched a new Christmas beer with the Python’s and a campaign to name the beer went live in the months prior. Our work with the Python’s doesn’t stop there! Following the popularity of Holy Grail, we have since created two additional beers in collaboration with the Pythons. If you’re based in the United States and interested in getting hold of Holy Grail, please do get in touch and we can point you in the right direction to distributors and importers. We continue to brew Holy Grail today and as well as being a permanently available bottled ale, we now brew the beer in cask too which is available all year round here in the UK.Īs you can imagine, our Holy Grail gets a lot of attention across the world, so much so that it is is widely available in the U.S.A. The result of this collaboration was the creation of a Golden Ale called, well, Holy Grail of course. Being a huge fan of the Python’s, Paul was more than happy to take on the quest and seek the Holy Grail! In 1999, our founder, Paul Theakston, was approached by the team at Monty Python to create a beer to commemorate the 30 th anniversary of the famous comedy troupe.
