Theakston Old Peculier

Theakston Old Peculier is a renowned old ale brewed by T&R Theakston Ltd., a family-run brewery established in 1827 in Masham, North Yorkshire, England. The beer is crafted using a blend of pale, crystal, and roasted barley, along with Fuggle hops, resulting in a deep, dark ruby red ale with a rich, fruity flavor profile featuring subtle cherry and banana notes. With an ABV of 5.6%, Old Peculier has garnered numerous awards, including the Champion Strong Ale of Britain at the Great British Beer Festival in 1989 and the Champion of Champions in the 2007 Yorkshire Beer Championship. The name 'Old Peculier' pays homage to Masham's unique ecclesiastical status as a 'Court of the Peculier'.
