It’s now called just Pigs Ear and is brewed by the Uley Brewery in Gloucestershire (pronounced Glostershuh). It’s therefore a very local brew to where I live and has won several prizes in competitions run by our Campaign for Real Ales (CAMRA). It’s a pale ale, very hoppy and is a tad over 5% alcohol. After a few pints, you’ll be ready to drive fast through speed limits and not get caught. The ‘old’ part of its original name was removed when a group supporting ageism in general felt it was unkind to elderly people. They didn’t seem to think about what the pigs felt about it....</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">JM</div><div id="ydp197a5195yiv8445619757yqt49026" class="ydp197a5195yiv8445619757yqt2666018803"><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">On 22 Dec 2025, at 18:10, DAVID MASSEY <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:dave1massey@cs.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dave1massey@cs.com</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:16px;" class="ydp197a5195yiv8445619757ydpebafaeceyahoo-style-wrap"><div><div dir="ltr">Yet another engaging treatise on the history of our cars.
