Re: Old Speckled Hen Ale

Who's the brewer? Sounds like a "Micro-brew" name.....

Ted,
I believe this is from England.
I'm not sure the brewer. emoticon

Re: Old Speckled Hen Ale

Looked it up in the net - crazy website. Took forever to find out anything about the beer. Looks like a nice Amber ale - never heard of it before but I'll keep my eye out for a bottle. emoticon

Thanks Rob,

Johnny

Re: Old Speckled Hen Ale

OSH is made bt Greene King. Not really a micro brewery but a larger independant based in Suffolk UK.
Good strong ale - nicer on draught.

I agree with Jim, much nicer on draught.

But a good strong Ale though.

That sure is a great Pub, Rob.

Even in the UK that would be a great selection.
