Peculier

It's the right way to spell it for the beer, since it is not peculiar but named for the old title of Peculier.

Well, I stand well and truly corrected! Well spotted FaQQer and apologies to the green one.

You can tell I'm not a bitter drinker, can't you?

I remember the days when you couldn't get it outside Yorkshire.....

Until S&N bought the company and started flogging it everywhere

I tried some OP when I was in Yorkshire years ago. It certainly lives up to its name.

How far back was that? In 1981 it was available in my local off licence in Norf London.

Early 80s, I think

The limitation was always based on how far a horse drawn coach could take the beer in a day, from Masham.

Paul Theakston now runs The Black Sheep Brewery, which produces some fine ales too.
