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.

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