The Legend!
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.
Harper Arms Rating (5=Tribute, 1=Carling):

Theakston Old Peculiar has been around since God was a lad and was the cause of a few marital reprimands for my Dad. Perhaps it’s a genetic thing but I find this beer very easy to drink. It’s not a funky, new age craft IPA; which we at The Harper Arms tend to favour; but it’s damn good. Probably why it’s stood the test of time, although I do remember it being stronger than the 5.6% when my Dad was drinking it.
A nice warming beer. Perfect for a cold winters evening by the fire.
Pity its still summer. Surely, it has not been that bad!
