Old Peculier is possibly one of the country’s most well-known and loved ales. This unique, beautiful brew is often imitated but never matched and is sold literally all over the world. With countless awards to its credit, it is something of which every Briton can be very proud and is the epitome of the greatest of British brewing tradition. In the early years of the modern brewing era, about two hundred years ago, many brewers produced a dark, strong ‘stock’ beer in the winter months, to provide a base amount of fermented beer to add to beers brewed in the rather more volatile months of the summer. Old Peculier probably owes its origins to this. 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.

👁 schwarzbraun; mittelporiger Schaum
👃🏻 Malze, minimale Röstnoten
👄 Der spontane Ersteindruck geht fast in Richtung klassisches Stout, da im Antrunk Röstmalze dominieren. Die weitere Entwicklung geht dann aber in eine andere Richtung: Wo der Gaumen jetzt schon auf eine ordentliche Herbe eingestellt war, wird er nun mit einer vielschichtigen, anderen Aromatik konfrontiert: fruchtig beerig, Trockenobst und auch eher florale/parfümierte Elemente mischen sich hier, ohne dabei eine nennenswerte Süße zu entwickeln. Erst im Nachklang bleibt eine etwas trockene Herbe neben einer Ahnung dunkler Schokolade haften.

Viimein reissulla klassikon kimppuun. Onkin sitten ihanan kirsikkainen ja kuivattujen hedelmien tanssi. Ja caskistä pehmeämpää kuin jäniksen tukehduttaminen tyynyllä. Kuvittele perinteinen brittipubi rock-musalla. Elämä on juhla!
