Press release from Old Speckled Hen

Old Speckled Hen beer fan Jonathan Vincent has created a mini bottle orchestra to celebrate the his favourite brew, creating his own unique version of Beethovens famous Ode to Joy. After putting together the instrument in his shed, Jonathan sent his amateur footage to Greene King. The brewers of Old Speckled Hen liked it so much that they offered to film the performance professionally.

Dubbed Ode to Hen by the beer enthusiast, the professional performance is delivered by a tuxedo clad Jonathan and musician pal Graham Mann on 35 bottles and 24 pints of cask beer with various amounts of the ale in each designed to create a pitch perfect sound.

Garden ‘pub’ probe

INVESTIGATIONS are continuing today after police raided a makeshift pub set up in the garden of a Hampshire home.

Officers busted the venue in Guest Road, Eastleigh, where they found fully working beer pumps and used beer kegs in the back garden.

Neighbours alerted police to an illegal set-up after complaining about excessive noise and offensive language coming from those inside the property.

The Daily Echo understands that the home-made pub was set up by a former employee of a nearby pub, to lure customers away from his ex-employer.

of course if it was for private use and not selling beer can the law do anything? apart from the noise that is and our Pub sheddies would invite the neighbors over.
