Notes

Since Newcastle Brown Ale was added in 2001, Scottish & Newcastle Breweries has been acquired by Heineken. In 2005, before the takeover, brewing was moved from Newcastle upon Tyne to Dunston on the other side of the River Tyne, and in 2010 - after the 2008 acquisition by Heineken - moved entirely to Tadcaster in North Yorkshire.

Thin and sinewy

Geoff: “Not a patch on Newcastle Brown on tap. On tap it's thick and creamy and Newcastle Brown in the bottle is all thin and sinewy. I think it's nice, I don't mean to criticise it, I just think it compares very unfavorably to that on the tap.”

Oliver considered that perhaps it loses its lustre after the first few mouthfuls and starts to seem a bit watery. Interestingly, another beer with this unfortunate trait is Carlton Cold, although these beers are not in the same league by any stretch.
