🍺 SPOTLIGHT ALE THIS WEEKEND 🍺

From Friday 15th May we’ll have the legendary Old Speckled Hen ON THE PUMPS at The Merry Widows 👀🔥

A true British classic 🇬🇧
Rich amber in colour with a smooth malty body, subtle fruity notes and that famously satisfying finish.

🐔 DID YOU KNOW??
Old Speckled Hen was first brewed in 1979 by Morland Brewery in Oxfordshire and has become one of Britain’s most recognised ales 🍻

At 4.5% ABV it’s known for being full of flavour while still incredibly easy drinking.

Perfect for real ale lovers looking for a proper traditional pint this weekend 👌
