Hello there fellow beer nuts, The Nags Head(NSW) are very excited to announce that theirGuest Beer for April is Monty’s Noble Ale from Pinchgut Brewing (NSW):Noble by name, Noble ingredients and a Noble gesture
Monty’s Noble Ale by Pinchgut Brewing Company is a special ale in honour of a very special child. Pinchgut Brewing Co. part owner, Jason Smith and his wife Catriona had a son, Monty, arrive in August 2012. At just seven days old, Monty went into serious distress and was rushed to Wyong Hospital Emergency. Diagnosed as being in heart failure, Monty experienced his first-ever ride in a helicopter to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead for emergency heart surgery to correct an aortic coarctation. Today Monty Smith is perfectly healthy and happy, thanks to the exceptional care and attention he received.
A play on words, Monty’s Noble Ale is a testament to the fighting spirit of little Monty and his rocky start in life. Monty Smith happens to be the great-great-great nephew of Montague A. Noble, considered one of Australian crickets great all-rounders. Australian Captain between 1903-1909, Noble led his team to victory in tests against England and South Africa, with the M.A. Noble Stand at the SCG named proudly in his honour.
Monty’s Noble Ale is a Steam or Californian Common beer by style. The brewers have sourced a hybrid lager yeast strain which has the ability to ferment at ale temperatures, while retaining lager characteristics. Monty’s Noble Ale owes its amber colour, thick, creamy head, and rich, distinctive flavour to a unique brewing process. It is a process that combines both the traditions of brewing great beers whilst continuing to reduce theimpact on the environment. All of Pinchgut’s beers are naturally brewed avoiding all preservatives and additives.
