COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Available filtered and pasteurised in keg and bottle.
Newcastle Brown Ale was first brewed in 1927 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, by Jim Porter after three years of development. Production moved from Newcastle to Gateshead at the end of 2004 and to Tadcaster on closure of the Dunston brewery in 2010.

In my opinion, this is the 2nd best beer on Earth, after Bass Ale. Great color, with a nice malty, fruity finish. Medium body, great floral hop (Fuggles?) aroma. Slightly better on tap and served at about 50 degrees.

Gooner (136) - Chatham, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 24, 2001
Nice malts. Similar to apple cider, but mildly sweet in contrast to apple cider. Very smooth and tasty. Try it in the can because the clear bottles tend to be skunky(surprised? :). It’s great on tap too!

Transitional beer. Starts smooth and uncharacteristic, ends smooth and uncharacteristic. Easy drinking mild that goes down better in the bottle. Taste is similar, but more pronounced on tap. That said, I really have to try it in the can.

I prefer a hardier ale. Too thin and watery, and I couldn’t find the flavor.

Great Beer for the Brits. I seem to gravitate toward this if the place has it on tap. Nice flavor and easy to drink.

A popular brown ale and that for a reason. If you like brown ale, there’s no way around this one.
