Test Your Knowledge of Newcastle Brown Ale
Newcastle Brown Ale is a distinctive variation of a traditional English style of beer that has become popular worldwide. It’s a blend of light and dark malts that create a unique, full-bodied and smooth flavor and cool temperature for easy drinking. It features fewer hops for a less bitter taste and has notes of bananas and dried fruit.
- The iconic beer was the brainchild of Colonel James ‘Jim’ Porter and Archie Jones who spent three years developing the recipe.
- It was introduced in 1927 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, by Tyne Brewery, in response to a steep rise in the demand for bottled beer after World War I.
- The famous five-pointed Blue Star logo was introduced to Newcastle Brown Ale bottles in 1928 to represent the five founding breweries of Newcastle.
- Also in 1928, Newcastle Brown won gold medals at the International Brewers Exhibition in London.
- The beer is perceived in the UK as a working-man’s beer and has long been associated with the shipbuilding, coal mining, and steel industries that dominated the North of England at the time.
- Newcastle Brown Ale is exported to more than 40 countries.
- By the late 1990s, it had become the best-selling bottled beer in the UK and Europe.
- In 2004, then owner Scottish and Newcastle announced the closure of the Tyne brewery, and brewing moved to Dunston, Tyne and Wear.
- In 2008, the brand was purchased by Heineken International and the beer’s popularity exploded.
- Brewing moved again in 2010 to Tadcaster in North Yorkshire, England.
- Often nicknamed “Newkie Brown,” in the UK and the USA it is often called “Dog,” which refers to the British “seeing a man about a dog” or in reference to taking the “dog” for a walk, both good excuses for going to the pub.
- Oscar-winning actor and director Clint Eastwood is a long-time fan of Newcastle Brown Ale and has often called it his favorite beer.
