It’s fair to say I’ve developed something of an obsession with Theakston’s Old Peculier. Ever since deputy ed. Katie Mather and I sat down and had a couple of pints in Manchester’s The Salisbury a year or so ago, it’s become a cornerstone of my drinking habits. In this episode I make a pilgrimage to Theakston Brewery in Masham, North Yorkshire and chat to chair Simon Theakston, and managing director Richard Bradbury.
