Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 TB25 please don't ever mention dirty rat piss (lager) on a Newcastle brown ale thread ever again. It's like talking about bull crosses and then someone chirps up "I like whippets". Lol. There is only one scenario when lager is acceptable. And that's San Miguel in the sunshine by the pool.

neil cooney 10,416 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 It was around the early 90's over for the Waterloo Cup that a Newcastle man introduced me to Newky. At the end of the night he was stubbing his cigarette out on the bar beside the ashtray. He was that drunk he was seeing 2 ashtrays and missing the real one. Personally, I think I was more sober leaving the pub than when I went in. You could give Newky Brown Ale to a toddler. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
antg 1,777 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 not what it used to be for sure. yes and served with a half pint / schooner was the preferred way up north always thought vaux double maxum was a better drink, especially on tap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shepp 2,285 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 The thing is ales in general have improved and have left Newcastle Brown behind, not a bad drink though, when compared to shite lager. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
