Theakston Old Peculier

The body is archiepiscopally full, rich and bejewelled. The taste is spiritually most refreshing. Perhaps they go too far, but some have called this beverage celestial or even divine; at the same time it is all too sublunary — worldly, very sensual. A paradox! The pious and the not-so-pious English ale-drinker alike consume it carefully and with due deference to the dignity of the ecclesiastical office. Whatever their sins, they give thanks to God that they were born Englishmen — or better still, Yorkshiremen — and that they have been vouchsafed the opportunity during this all-too-brief span to consume such a beer. Its votaries, when deprived of their Old Peculier, grow maddened and have been known to run amok; when there is a shortage of the brew in the depths of the severe north-country winter they sometimes throw themselves naked into the River Ure, hence the byname ‘lunatic’s broth’. 'Old Peculier' alludes to the designation in the 12th century of Masham — which earlier had been granted to York Minster — as a peculier (i.e. parish exempt from the archdiocese in which it is situated). The authors of this righteous beer are the God-fearing clan who since the great George Canning was prime minister have owned and run Theakston Brewery in the dear market town of Masham in Wensleydale. This bottle was purchased for £1.80 (c. €2.10, ¥270, $2.50) from an outlet of the Sainsbury's supermarket chain.
