Hi T,

You are not the only one to say it is not the beer it use to be, however many also say that it is a different and better beer on from the cask. I am not sure whether you have had the bottle or cask version, but I get what you are saying.

Thanks fro your thoughts

Hi Steve,

Yea I have heard it is better on tap, looking forward to trying a pint when I find it.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

Yea I am from south of Watford, London Originally, however I live in Wales now, so I guess I am west of Watford. I only said in reply to David in the last comment that I would love to try it on tap. It seems that Old Peculier is a different pint on draught compared to the bottled version.

So you might see me in Yorkshire next year supping on a pint of Old Peculier in your local, I’ll buy you a pint too.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

What! Are from south of Watford??

😉

Really.. on draft it is a fabulous beer … The only competition is a black sheep brewery rigswelter from just up the road…

One of the first beers I drunk as a teenager and I remember it being strong dark and heavenly in a glass… Still think the same many years later

It’s a taste thing and the same as everything in life, one man’s poison…

So dont take a reviewers word for it .. go to Yorkshire and try it in a local pub…

Hi David,

Wow, 6 pints of Old Peculier and a fish n chip dinner, now that’s a night out. Many people have said it is better on tap than the bottle. I have only had the bottle version, so would love to try it on tap.

Thanks for your thoughts

Hi Robert,

Interesting, so you think it has lost some of its charm and flavour, could be I guess. It is not unheard of for a beer to change over time, and not for the better.

Thanks for your thoughts
