Monk's Gold is light and hoppy, made with Halcyon and Crystal malts, and Styrian Goldings hops. Monk's Gold is a relative newcomer but is proving to be extremely popular. Above Glossop to the south is the hill of Whiteley Nab, and across this hill winds Monks Road. Legend has it that the monks used this road to transport their gold from their local estates to their abbey in North Wales - or at least to nearby Charlesworth, where the road ends. After all this exertion, they would no doubt have appreciated a few pints of the crisp, clear, tasty Monks Gold.
