Brand Heritage and Quality Points

Old Speckled Hen has a storied history, first brewed in 1979 by Morland Brewery in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. It was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the iconic MG car factory, earning its name from an old MG car used as a factory run-around, affectionately known as the “Owld Speckled ‘Un”. Today, it continues to be brewed with the same dedication to quality and tradition, using locally sourced ingredients to ensure every bottle delivers the authentic taste that fans have come to love. With its rich heritage, Old Speckled Hen remains a symbol of British brewing excellence.
