Old Speckled Hen was first brewed in Abingdon, Oxfordshire to
commemorate the 50th anniversary of the MG car factory. But why "Old
Speckled Hen"? Well, the name is actually derived from the name "owld
speckled 'un", a term used to describe an old MG car used as a factory
run-around. Over time, this unusual, canvas-covered saloon became
covered with flecks of paint and was dubbed the "owld speckled 'un" by
locals.
