Estrella Damm acquired the business from Greene King earlier this month, which also included Old Golden Hen, Old Crafty Hen, Old Master Hen, and Low Alcohol Old Speckled Hen. The Old Speckled Hen brand was sold to Estrella Damm in May, and the deal was completed on July 1. Old Speckled Hen and its spin-off brands Old Golden Hen, Old Crafty Hen, Old Master Hen and Low Alcohol Old Speckled Hen will continue to be brewed by Greene King at Bury St Edmunds until June next year. Old Speckled Hen beer is named after a 1927 black and gold factory 'runaround'. Greene King, which runs 2,500 pubs, restaurants and hotels, continues to make cask ale and craft beer including Greene King IPA and Abbot Ale.
