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.”

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.
