pilgrim Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) I am a bit puzzled about that - an I right in thinking that many years ago S&N managed to get Newcastle Brown Ale registered as a 'regionally protected' product, in that it could only be called by that name if it was produced in NEWCASTLE. They then moved production to Dunstan and I thought at the time it was a bit odd, but now its made in Yorkshire!! I am wondering if they conveniently forgot about that??? (mind you Guinness was bottled at the Vaux brewery in Sunderland and Theakstons was being brewed at the old S&N brewery in Newcastle) Edited February 7, 2015 by pilgrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Doyle Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I always thought it was because it made you "as sick as a dog" At least, thats my late teen memories of it, and me thinking i could manage double figure count bottles of the stuff in a short period of tie.Never hurled that much ever!

pilgrim Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 agree with mercury (am worried now as I seem to agree too often with him) you could drink the 'brown' - even the draymen wouldn't touch 'amber' - or you could always lay aside the snakebite for a serious dose of 'double diamond' or for those hardened 'clubbers' (different definition these days) try a pint of 'mixed' -- fed ordinary and fed special. ,,,,, and for those morning after visits to the 'club' start with a rum and pep - just to settle the stomach!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercuryg Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 "..am worried now as I seem to agree too often with him..." We'll find something to disagree on soon, I'm sure! A thorough investigation yesterday concluded 'see a man about a dog' is the right one. The journalist was just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtom Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Do many people still drink Brown Ale? - I thought the only drink these days was Stella Artois! judging by the number of pubs selling it - Mind you, I do prefer a Wheat Beer or Belgian beer to any of the so called 'real ales' which are being sold these days. I've just been to Tenerife and found most places selling 'pints' for one euro or less, but not Stella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
