Keep up the good work, mate. I like this beer, it used to be my all time favourite! ABV was 5.2 in the past and much more flavoursome than this current version. Still a good drink, mind you, but not as punchy or quite as tasty as it used to be😊😊😊
I lived in the Abingdon area from the early 80s until 2008. Old Speckled Hen was one of my favourite beers in the 80s and 90s. I remember the Morland brewery well and from 2002 to 2008 I lived just behind where the brewery used to be. I still drink Old Speckled Hen occasionally but it's gone from being a local beer to just any other mass produced beer in my eyes. I prefer Old Crafty Hen these days anyway.
@@wraggysbeers Completely agree! They were selling it in Lidl last Saturday so obviously I had to buy a couple of bottles. Such a beautiful malty flavour.
Yeah, this is another one that has had its abv lowered in the last year or so. It was 5% in bottles and cans. I think it was even higher than that many years ago.
You're right, it has been lowered in terms of its ABV, it once used to be 5.2 and was bursting with flavour. It's still a great drink, but now somewhat subdued in comparison🙂
It's a great little hobby for you matey. Keeps you busy!

Old Crafty is a Banger to be honest
