Newcastle Brown Ale

Famous beer brewed in Newcastle upon Tyne since 1927 which is dark brown in colour.

Unlike many British beers Newcastle Brown Ale is always served cold, ideally from a bottle, and drunk from a half-pint glass so as to minimise warming, with a pronounced frothy head (never flat).

The beer was widely unavailable in southern and midland England until a successful promotional campaign in the late 1980s, but is now one of the country's leading bottled ales.
