It’s drink that was revered as rocket-fuel when I was in my teens/early 20s. These days it’s a shadow of its former self and I’d love to brew a proper Newcastle ‘broon’.

Th only similarities with Mann's Brrrrown Ale are the words 'brown' and 'ale'.Martyn Cornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843357962176591317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-54446020055725773662018-07-26T17:35:53.310-07:002018-07-26T17:35:53.310-07:00Growing up on Tyneside, Newcastle Brown Ale had a ...Growing up on Tyneside, Newcastle Brown Ale had a huge mythology that revolved around its strength, with rumours that Newcastle General Hospital had a special locked ward that housed victims of the Broon. It was commonly nicknamed "journey into space" after the famous radio SF show of the 1950s. <br /><br />With its modern ABV of 4.7% it's pretty much an also ran nowadays - do you have any record of what its strength was back in the original S&N days? If it was 4.7% in the old days that really wasn't a lot different to the likes of Clubs Fed Special or Newcastle Exhibition that were, I believe around 4.3%.<br /><br />Mike in NSWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-35061978074280031492018-07-26T08:23:04.453-07:002018-07-26T08:23:04.453-07:00Image, please.
