    My old man worked at Morland Brewery in Abingdon in the late 70s and 80s. I even lived on the site when they turned it into flats.
    I have been a fan of all the Old Speckled Hen beers since I was a teenager, nothing beats it on draft.
    Bring back the mini kegs I say.

      Did you manage to save any of the history of the place (Any items from the brewing process, signs, barrels, that sort of thing)?
      My mum was based in Abingdon in the 1960's in the RAF.

      I also worked at morlands brewery in abingdon for 9 years being made redundant by greene king when the closed the brewery, there has been a noticeable change in the speckled hen since being Brewed by greene king it's not the same ,because on site in abingdon the liquor ( water ) was from artesian Wells on site !!!! your reference to 1711 was Morlands being founded not Greene king !!.

    • @tomwilliams7391

      The co op are usually more expensive than Waitrose and M&S, I can never understand why, the range and quality is much less.
      It's useful to know of another stockist, I'm not sure about £7, I thought the Waitrose £6 was a lot....

  • @notthedj

    Heading straight to Waitrose, this sounds lovely. Sure £6 seems high for a bottle, but looks like something special to savour.

    @WESTMALLEMAN Před 16 dny +2

    £6 in Waitrose seems rather pricey for a Greene King beer but it looks quite decent. I may pick up a bottle if I see it but It's the same price as a Fullers Vintage which is a top quality beer.

  • @notthedj
    @notthedj Před 14 dny

    Picked up a couple in Waitrose today, big “father’s day” display as soon as I got in the store. £6 each, but lovely stuff indeed….and the box is great, there’s an outer sleeve then the actual box inside (Simon makes a mess of his).

  • @timothyhaynes9124
    @timothyhaynes9124 Před 16 dny +1

    Do they still have it in Waitrose, Simon? My nearest is Pontprennau these days. I totally agree, some of these specials would be great in Greene King pubs. That's what I like about my local. Ok, the beer is mostly "Marstonised", but at least there is a new one to have every week or two. I love this channel. Keep it up!

  • @tomwilliams7391

    Looks good, I like the box... I wish Greene King would do these specials more often...at least they have put it in a relativley wide spread supermarket, rather than online only.
    About 5 years ago, I used to enjoy a speckled hen special, hen's tooth, I can't find it any more though..

    • @theseeker3771
      @theseeker3771 Před 13 dny +1

      I find the box on a bottle of beer like this, just as I do with collectable whisky, to usually be a waste of time.....I'm not going to drink the box..it goes in the bin. Make it a quid cheaper and spare me the fluff for the recycling bin and I'll be happier.

      The core Greene King beers aren’t what they used to be unfortunately. Maybe with the exception of this one, Old Crafty Hen and at a push, Abbot Reserve.
      Unfortunately as Simon says, these ones don’t get to Cask or Keg in most pubs, so you usually only see IPA, Abbot or Old Speckled Hen - each one a shadow of it’s former self.

    I bought this from Waitrose from the same place I got the nasty UK brewed Leffe. This was a marked improvement.... my only problem with this beer is the all the extravagant and pointless packaging which was impressive but went straight in the bin..... Perhaps this is designed for collectors and to be laid down? Though for me it's not quite strong enough to be a vintage beer.

    In the nicest possible way, it seems like your content has lost a bit of its appeal of late. When you focus heavily on beers that are either not available in the UK or only sold by one or two companies at high prices plus postage, I lose interest. I'd prefer to hear about good beers available in supermarkets, with the occasional special and interesting one thrown in. Constantly featuring random beers from regional European breweries that I will never come across isn't engaging for me. Judging by the views on those videos, it appears I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    If anyone is trying to decide who to vote for soon, you won't go far wrong if you vote for Reform UK.
    Nigel Farage is all for Real Ale and pubs in general, so we may well get a reduction in taxation where booze is concerned if some of his candidates get voted in.
    Good luck to you all! 🇬🇧
