OWD RODGER: A delicious old ale, brewed by Marstons ; richly fruity, dark and strong (7.6% a.b.v.), with a bitter-sweet finish, that used to be produced in the 1970's, amazingly, as a draught beer(!!), and readily available in Marstons' tied houses. On a visit home to Somercotes, from college life in Liverpool, with my best mate Rodger White, a glutton for dark beer (being from Dorset, where there was none), we got no further than Buxton, having availed ourselves of Marstons' hospitality. Today, February 20th, 2010, Rodger would have been 61, and how he would have loved to have shared a pint of Owd Rodger with me and Paul, his son.
