Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Unpleasant

Morlands have been taken over by Greene King and the Abingdon brewery which produced Old Original has closed down. Old Original was my favourite local beer in the Thames Valley area - an excellent session bitter. When Greene King first became involved we noticed changes at our local pub - a Morlands tenanted house. Sometimes the beer was a different darker colour than usual and tasted quite different - unpleasant! Research with the draymen revealed that Greene King was being brewed at their brewery in parallel - so sometimes we had the Abingdon stuff and sometimes the new version, Customers voted with their feet or drank Guinness! Now that Abingdon has closed we have to say farewell to yet another casualty - another fine beer lost! I now drink elsewhere.
