@Jim in Chicago – I’d agree. From what I remember, this would make a good beer for regular drinking. Now that I think of it, I often see this beer @ my local Whole Foods. Their website seems to indicate there are several in the area – give it a shot!

I was not aware of the contract brewing thing. I’ve never heard of that but looking into it it seems you’re right!

A friend got me a six pack as a gift as we are both Python fans. I found it surprisingly nice. Perfectly balanced and carbonated and very refreshing but with plenty of flavor. Highly recommended as an everyday drinking ale.

Unfortunately, my friend got it on a trip out of town. I drank the last bottle today and have not found it in Chicago yet. If anyone knows a store that carries it here, please reply.

I should note that the version sold in the U.S. is actually brewed at the High Falls Brewery in Rochester, NY under contract with Black Sheep.

I was not overly impressed but I did enjoy it.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm pretty sure most folks would rate this beer as 'average' - nothing great, but nothing bad either. It doesn't stand out as a really memorable beer except that I really, really enjoyed it when I had it. I'd get it again even if it had a different name!

I've not tries this, although I should have. I was always afraid that they had to pull out Monty Python for marketing to make up for a lack of flavor. I'll give it a whirl this week. Nate’s last blog post..Good, Great, or Terrible…

I thought this beer was ok. I made sure to get it for the novelty of the beer. I suppose that was pretty genius on the brewer's part. I'd place it more in the 3 star area but preferences are different. Michael Reinhardt’s last blog post..Review of Dark Lord by Three Floyds Brewing

I tried this one quite awhile ago, before my beer blogging days, and I don't remember what I thought of it. I got it merely for the novelty of it being Monty Python. Mike’s last blog post..Chocolate Indulgence Stout
