Comments on: Tactical Nuclear Penguin v Old Peculier http://nourishingobscurity.com/2009/12/03/tactical-nuclear-penguin-v-old-peculier/ Drawn back, as if to a horror movie Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:58:02 +0200 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: William Gruff http://nourishingobscurity.com/2009/12/03/tactical-nuclear-penguin-v-old-peculier/comment-page-1/#comment-3072 William Gruff Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:52:59 +0000 http://nourishingobscurity.com/2009/12/03/tactical-nuclear-penguin-v-old-peculier/#comment-3072 Thomas hardy Ale used to be a favourite tipple. In the early nineties I shared a house in Sheffield with a former submariner and every Friday evening we'd make our way to the Fat Cat, on Kelham Island, where we'd drink pints of draught Marston's Owd Roger with a Thomas Hardy chaser. After four rounds we were both literally legless. In those days it was brewed by Eldridge Pope, in Dorchester, and it looked and tasted like rum. Like Old Peculiar, a change in ownership has ruined both beers. Thomas hardy Ale used to be a favourite tipple.

I was forever picking them up off pub floors after 'OP Leg'set in (around the 3 pint mark).
