Old Speckled Hen English Pale Ale Beer, combines flavours of toffee, caramel and malt to produce it's unique characteristics. Brewed in Bury St Edmunds using water from our own chalk well. Old Speckled Hen English Pale Ale Beer was first brewed in 1979 to celebrate 50 years of the iconic MG Rover. Owes it's name not to a bird but a car, a paint-splattered featherweight fabric saloon, the MG factory run-around, fondly known as 'Old Speckled Un' thanks to its mottled appearance. Enjoy chilled in an Old Speckled Hen glass. Old Speckled Hen English Pale Ale Beer can be paired with a hearty pie or a meaty BBQ for a great combination.
