It’s made by the Black Sheep brewery in Masham, Yorkshire. It’s not far from where I grew up and if you visit the town you can go on brewery tours. However if you want a good tasting beer I’d suggest their Riggwelter, Yorkshire square ale or from the related Theakston brewery next door “Old Peculier”.
I can’t believe Monty Python fans are still there. Please, let it go. It was funny in the seventies and it lasted quite some time, but in 2012, we’ve had it. Even nerds should be bored by now.
Ni, ni, zoot, wink and nudge, lumberjacks, silly walks, albatross. We all know the references, we have seen it over and over and over and we know it is fun for smart people. Now can we please move on?
Strange women lyin in ponds distributin swords is no basis 4 a system of government. Supreme exec pwr derives from mandate of masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony.U cant expect 2 wield supreme exec pwr just cuz some watery tart threw a sword @ u says:
Oh, and I agree with the earlier poster who said the beer was horrible. Ordered it at a bar once, and the barkeep said “Would you like to try it first”? When I did, I said “I think I’m going to order something else.” She said “Most people do. That stuff is terrible.”
I really kinda hope the person who posted this isn’t just discovering Holy Grail Ale. This has been around for a while. Yeah, it’s cool and all and when I first saw when I did (I think I was like… 7) I thought it was so cool, because I love Monty Python, but still…
That must be what was going on behind the secret door in Castle Anthrax. Zoot’s a bootlegger!
Wicked, bad, naughty Zoot
I’ll have a Foster’s, Bruce.
It’s not bad either …
this beer is HORRIBLE
second.
Stick to soda, kid.
Why did they cross out the GR if the word ALE is already written on it? *scratches head*…
Also: Monty Python themed ale? What the ****? Cashing in on Monty Python is just wrong.
Doesn’t that rather depend on whose idea it was/who created it?

I’m not a massive fan of Black Sheep actually (although Golden Sheep is lovely), but I won’t turn down a pint of Old Peculier on a cold day
There a Monty Python reunion special coming up in the near future, this is just part of the Marketing blitz leading up to it.
I doubt it’s that. This stuff has been around for years. I’ve been aware of it for about a decade.
…and there was MUCH rejoicing
…yay…
I’ve had that, it’s pretty good.
After you open the bottle you have to drink it in 5…er…3 seconds.
This isn’t a win, it’s product placement.
No,fail
The product being placed is from 1974, and it still not quite dead yet.
That stuff is really good. I’ve had it.
Holy Ail Ale, as in Holy Sickness Ale? Maybe they should erase the X.
Good beer – and the black X is actually part of the packaging design, FWIW.
Here’s another: the Black Knight’s Reserve

Thanxalot!
No. Now, into the comfy chair!

*pokes with pointy stick*

And now the Penguin on top of your television will explode.
Just need that Holy Hand Grenade though.

WE DON’T TAKE VERY KINDLY TO DIFFERENT OPINIONS AROUND THESE PARTS.
I can’t disagree, but that’s only because you paid for a 3-reply argument. Thank you!
No, now go feast on orangutan and breakfast cereals.
You can’t say Ni to this Ale.
Nu!
EKKE EKKE EKKE PTANGYA ZIINGGGGGGGGG NI!
Wow, my parents have like 5 cases of this stuff in their beer fridge and they aren’t even huge Monty Python fans.
No… but they might be alcoholics.

Good post, Love it. Keep it up. I appreciate it.

this stuff has been out for 7 years it sales like crap (i know i a beer salesmen) and we are just getting a pic of this now?
LOL I still have a bottle of this left in the fridge.
What? The word “Ale” was already below “Grail”, why didn’t they just cross out Grail?
