Went on the Theakston's Brewery tour recently, which really rekindled my admiration for Old Peculier.Originally Posted by TheReverand
I was in York yesterday, what a fine place for ale!! The york tap by the station is great, sampled a couple of beers from Rapture brewery which Id never heard of, they were both beautiful and in great conditionGreat pint of old peculiar too in some other boozer, I do love the Old Peculiar, struggle to get it up our way these days :thunbdown:
From the company's website:
"The name pays tribute to the unique ecclesiastical status of Masham as a ‘Court of the Peculier’ and is also reference to the strong characteristic of the beer! For many years it was affectionately referred to as Yorkshire’s ‘Lunatic’s Broth’.
Old Peculier is a beautiful, yet very simple beer, brewed using a very generous blend of finest pale, crystal and roasted barley with two bitter hops combined with the majestic and noble ‘Fuggle’ hop to produce a beer of awesome full-bodied flavour with subtle cherry and rich fruit overtones. It tastes superb when accompanied by rich stews, strong cheeses and sweet puddings."
