For real-ale enthusiasts in
search of a first-class pint, this is the place to locate in Abingdon. The distinctive
Morland buildings brewery is right next door in the town centre. Stop here and visit this
Grade II listed brick pub; originally it housed brewery offices and the head brewer's
cottage, then it became store rooms before becoming a pub in 1993, perfectly positioned at
the brewery gates. Here, in the comfortable and neatly refurbished bar areas, one can
sample the complete range of Morland's cask conditioned ales - Old Speckled Hen, Tanner's
Jack, Original, Independent IPA and seasonal bitters. All are kept, as one would expect in
tip-top condition. Its not known if they serve food.

Notes: |
2002: Morlands were taken over by
Greene King a couple of years ago, so the only beer that remains is Old
Speckled Hen. The brewery building itself has been turned into houses and
apartments. Yes, they do food, Monday to Saturday (daytimes) and it is
very good. (Grahame) |
