Two Old Speckled Hens

Old Speckled Hen being enjoyed with Irish Dip and Shepard's Pie at Hannah Flanagans in Hendersonville, NC.

My favorite beer is this wonderful English Pale Ale with a rich malty taste and fruity aroma. What I just found out: it was first brewed by the Morland Brewery to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the MG car factory in Abingdon Oxfordshire. The beer got its name from the old MG that the factory had used as a run about. Old Hen's speckled appearance came from being parked in front of the paint shop.Old Speckled Hen herself, the original.
