Pros: Easy drinking. Completely original "vinegar" note. Cons: Usually served too cold at bars.
:::BOTTLE:::
Another review resulting from the left overs of my Non-Domestic Beer Sampling Party.
I believe the true connoisseur and those in areas influenced by Britain call brown ales "Milds". I couldn't think of a more flattering way...

Pros: Taste, smooth, light Cons: None
Revised:
A love affair with a beer? I know, just saying that sounds a little off the wall, but I'd be selling Newcastle short if I explained it any other way. From the very first time I tried Newcastle I was blown away. Newcastle Brown Ale is...

Pros: All round decent tipple Cons: not enough half bottles
Newcastle Brown is one of the few beers that has been placed on the ‘Protected Foods’ list, meaning it can only be brewed in Newcastle Upon Tyne by Scottish and Newcastle Breweries.
It is commonly known in Newcastle as a bottle of dog...

Pros: Delicious and light, goes well with many foods Cons: A bit too light for drinkers of stouts and porters
Whenever I go out and people ask me for a beer recommendation that is different from what they usually have but not a 'dark beer' I usually recommend one of two brown ales: Newcastle or Sam Smith's. Both are wonderful Brown Ales that are light and...

Pros: Very easy drinking - a good standby. Cons: Gets a bit 'samey' after a while.
I live very close to the brewery that makes Newcastle Brown Ale, and if you go to some of the associated pubs in the area, or to the brewery itself, you will have the chance to taste it FRESH. There is no comparrison between the fresh stuff and the...

Pros: A classic British import at an irresistible price Cons: None
British Beer Rules Again…
Every culture has their strengths and weaknesses, and it's a well-known fact that the British know their beers. Accepting this as an immutable truth, it’s no surprise that Newcastle is the number one selling...

Pros: Taste, body. Cons: Overindulgence can have detrimental effects on equilibrium.
I have to admit to being less than enamoured with the poor excuses for beer that infest cans or bottles bearing some big American brewery labels (names intentionally omitted to protect the guilty).
In an attempt to disguise the complete lack...

Pros: taste and quality, easy to drink Cons: the price
Okay, I've written a review on Newcastle Brown Ale in the past, but I deleted it and wanted to start from scratch because I feel that review didn't give Newcastle any justice. So here I am, trying to write again.
Newcastle Brown Ale. One of...

Pros: at its best under only certain conditions Cons: delicious and the most fun beer on the market
Although I shudder at my own pretenses, I don't think that the Newcastle that we get in this country is quite the same. For one thing, it's often sold in North America on tap, and it is always in the bottle in the UK and Ireland. The draft Newcastle is...

Pros: Smooth, balanced flavor, incredibly tasty. Cons: Can be affected by heavier beers and temperature.
Newcastle Brown Ale is a singularly unique beer. I remember my first attempt at the beer quite well. A group of chums and I were watching some anime on DVD, and someone passed me one of the distinctive clear bottles, with instructions to give it a try....

Pros: Distinctive and unusual taste, good for heavy drinking if you like it Cons: Slightly sweet, not hoppy enough for my taste
I and many others used to drink Newcastle Brown Ale at the UMIST student union in Manchester during their regular Saturday night concerts. It was handy to drink because it comes in a pint bottle with a good heft to it, and it slipped down quite easily....

Pros: A true drink of the North East. If you have any plans to come to Enlgand for your holidays, drink this instead of the other beers or lagers. Cons: Not enough of it at times
Well, what can I say! I am from the North East of England, where they brew NBA and have seen it being brewed at the Blue star breweries.
You do not need to know the facts on when it was first made, who by, etc. You need to know the true...

Pros: Great taste, easy to drink Cons: Only truly good on tap, beware of the hangover
Newcastle is a thin-bodied dark ale that manages not to be as horribly bitter as darker beers can be. It has a sweet chocolate-nutty flavor and is very easy to drink. However, due to travel, the clear bottle, or just age, bottled Newcastle can often...

Pros: Good flavor Cons: Price, availability
Being that my teenage years and my twenties for that matter are long gone at this point in my life, when I partake of alcoholic beverages I do so for the taste and experience alone. That being said, if I don’t appreciate the taste of a malt beverage...

Pros: My all-around favourite beer Cons: Clear bottles make for sometimes spotty freshness
Newcastle. The king of beers, in my opinion. I can not think of a more delicious, yet readily available beer on the planet.
I first started drinking Newcastles back in 1994 when I went to see two famed British bands (long before...
