Greene King has agreed to sell its Old Speckled Hen ale brands to the Spanish brewer that owns the Estrella lager brand, according to multiple reports. The buyer is Damm, based in Barcelona. The deal covers Old Speckled Hen ale products including the non-alcoholic and “golden” variants. The brands’ production is set to be transferred to Damm’s recently built brewery site in Bedford. Reports also describe a transition period during which production moves from Greene King’s operations to the buyer’s Bedford facility. The sale is presented as part of a broader pattern of overseas interest in British beer brands, with foreign brewers acquiring well-known labels. The reports focus on the change of ownership and where production will take place, rather than detailing financial terms or timing beyond the existence of the transition period.
