"OLD FART was conceived in celebration of all those Cantankerous Boozers that occupy every Public House in Britain if not the world. It emerged from a small local brewery in Todmorden on the Yorkshire, Lancashire border in 1989 and was sold initially in local hostelries as a Real Ale. To ensure a more successful result from the original Robinwood venture it was decided to Market the beer in bottles and widen the scope of operation. This strategy proved very successful and received a timely boost from comments made about the structure of Rugby union in England by the then England captain Will carling when the famous phrase "57" old farts was coined.From those humble beginnings OLD FART has grown in reputation and is now not only widely distributed across the UK but all over the world."

"Merrimans Brewery also takes a keen interest in local sport and has sponsored local Rugby and football sides as well as investing money in horse racing."
"Investing money in horse racing", ... I hope it's not the accountant........
