Newcastle (the beer)
 
I decided to finish off a sixer of this stuff (alone - at home - on a friday night - while using a message board - yada yada yada) and I'd have to say it's quite to my liking. I've been drinking American beer water since I was in diapers and have always made it a point to avoid English beers (resulting from a rather severe case of Anglophobia). I must say, however, that this stuff is really very good. Smooth and tasty. Not too chocolatey. Properly brown. Num num.
I fear it's time to curtail my xenophobia a tad and let foreign beers into my llife. Ay, my mother will be so disappointed.

Yours,
Hat & Beard

Tastes like shit. Only northeners with taste buds numbed by a diet of faggots and peas, like it in the UK.

Which explains why I like it. Cheers!

Good, not great. I'll have it occasionally if it's on tap but I'd rarely grab a six pack.

H'oway man. Gan y'sen a decen fookin' beyar liyk. Fookin' coont.

Which is to say, Newkie B is alright, but I'd only have it in the absence of a proper ale on tap. It is, however, eminently more drinkable than the glut of domestic lagers, be they European or (shudder) American.

jon boy 08.25.2007 06:14 AM

yes i am still drunk.

Toilet & Bowels 08.25.2007 06:44 AM

excellent, one more off the lager wagon

hat and beard 08.25.2007 06:58 AM

I am sooooooooooo drunk and unemployed and awake @ 6:58am and interneting. Please kill me. Please.

jon boy 08.25.2007 07:05 AM

its been happening a lot recently that i wake up still drunk. three or four times this week already.

jon boy 08.25.2007 11:07 AM

i was in the toon, as they say last week. went to some place called the free trade.

jon boy 08.25.2007 11:25 AM

it does look rough from the outside but it was very nice inside and a really good view of the river. and yes it does have a free duke-box which was both splendid and tremendous.

jon boy 08.25.2007 11:36 AM

just visiting a freind for his birthday and housewarming party. south gosforth he lives in which seemed very nice.

jon boy 08.25.2007 11:52 AM

oh i have been there a few times, nice beach and good fish n chips as i remember but i have not been there since i was a kid. i will endeavour to go there again one day.

soapbars 08.25.2007 12:04 PM

i like a bottle of brown,

i wont drink lager, absolute piss water for southeners who cant drink,

i mostly drink guiness and other stouts but happily enjoy most ales, mceuans, bishops finger, john smiths, and so on,

newcastle brown was a favourite of mine for ages but it does fuck up your head abit (i cant remember the ins and outs of this),

theres even a newcastle brown ale ward in st. lukes which is middlesbrough mental hosipital for the mentally retarded,

How funny I picked up a sixer yesterday it was great & I had the last one this morning. I can't hate on this brew it's far better Budweiser or any other domestic beer for that matter.

Green_mind 08.25.2007 02:43 PM

I prefer a lighter, more refreshing ale. Golden Glory is very nice.

the ikara cult 08.25.2007 07:31 PM

Ironically i never actualy tasted it when i was living in the Toon (and it was still being brewed there). But have since, and a night spent on it gave me a monster hangover.

terminal pharmacy 08.25.2007 09:14 PM

i love newkie brown, it is a fine fine ale. honestly i don't see how anyone can drink any american beer, it is like cordial, nothing like a good ale. these are my locals
