Old Speckled Hen? Estrella owner buys Greene King ale brand
Pub chain Greene King has sold its iconic Old Speckled Hen ale brand (including non-alcoholic and golden variants) to Barcelona-based brewer Damm, owner of Estrella lager, marking another overseas takeover of a British beer brand. The beer will continue to be brewed in the UK—first at Greene King's Bury St Edmunds site during a handover period, then at Damm's Bedford brewery—and remain available in Greene King pubs, UK supermarkets, and the off-trade.
