Monty’s Brewery are excited to announce that their Gluten Free stout ‘Dark Secret’ has been awarded ‘Highly Commended’ at this year’s prestigious Great British Food Awards 2020. “It is an absolute honour to receive this award particularly with so much other competition out there”, said Russ Honeyman, Commercial Director
The Brewery set out to create a great tasting gluten free stout that everyone could enjoy, without compromising on flavour. Dark Secret is a rich full-bodied stout with hints of chocolate and coffee it’s brewed with barley and oats but with the gluten removed. Receiving this Great British Food Award clearly shows they got it right
Monty’s Dark Secret has won many awards including 3 gold star awards with Great Taste Awards for two consecutive years, Silver at the London Beer Competition, Bronze at the Free From Food Awards
Magnitude, their 8% barley wine was also a finalist in the competition. This indulgent beer is full of sweet, malty characteristics and warming alcohol, perfect for sipping in front of the fire on a cold evening.
Russ Honeyman Commercial Director said “to have two beers as finalists and one of them to receive ‘Highly Commended’ is a testament to the skill and hard work of our staff and brewers at the Brewery. Dark Secret has been winning prizes consistently since we began brewing it in 2016.
