The story behind Nowt Peculier
The name is the joke, and it’s a good one: Theakston — the historic family brewer of Masham, North Yorkshire — makes Old Peculier. Nowt Peculier is its alcohol-free version: a 0.0% “rich-flavoured, dark ruby ale”, in Theakston’s words, brewed to the Old Peculier recipe and then filtered to remove the alcohol, launched in November 2024.
A good bottle for the dark shelf, alongside Guinness 0.0. A heritage cask name doing alcohol-free with a wink: exactly how it should be done.
Drink it like a Yorkshire dark ale: cellar-cool rather than fridge-cold, with a pie, a stew or a hunk of strong cheddar.
