Episode 138 – Newcastle Brown

We visit (or, revisit, but this time with you) Newcastle Brown Ale, a well known beer with a massive distribution area. For a brown ale, it’s not bad. Nothing to write home about, but much better than other beers that adorn some of the cooler shelves at local beer stores.

    No assessment of Newcastle Brown Ale is complete without mentioning the fabled "Newkie Brun" ward.
    "There is an urban myth that Newcastle General hospital has a ' Broon ward' where those suffering ill-effects of too many nights on the bottle are treated. The brewery is said to give generously to it."
  • Now THAT's a great story :)

    Hey, thanks for doing some beers I can and have actually drunken. Also thanks for the link to the movie, Beer Wars! Great documenary! I knew there was some of that stuff going on, but how ruthless is buttwiper? They probly even own Newcastle by now.?
    Good show! Newcastle is good about twice a year but the underlying sweetness just turns me off a little. Maybe better with food or rotated with a more bitter or hoppy IPA.
  • Yeah we like Beer Wars. Love the new avatar! :)
