Are there any other Newcastle Brown Ales? I guess since it's a locality-based name they can't just copyright it and forget about where it's actually made. As long as it tastes the same, I don't care if they make it in New Jersey.

Brown and scottish ales are my favorite beers. Mackeson's and McEwan's are two of the only ales I'd drink over Newcastle.

I like Theakston's, but I'm Old and Peculier.

Rogue of Oregon used to make a "beer" called Old Crustacean. It came in a tiny 6 ounce bottle with 12% content.

Newcastle's not a bad choice on occasion. I tend to more of a bourbon man myself, but have been known to enjoy a few cold brews.

Scott,

You sound like a man who would enjoy a Victory Storm King Imperial Stout. I don't know if you can get it where you live. It's a PA brewery, I think around Lancaster. If you ever come across it, give it a try. Strong stuff.

WHQ - Stouts are 3rd on my list after brown and scotch ales...will look for it here in the Boston area. Thanks for the tip.

Rogue is my favorite U.S. brewery, and it's hard to beat Dead Guy, unless it's their Younger's Special Bitter. But I love Newcastle. I'll buy whatever's on sale. If I don't have enough $ I'll settle for Goose Island Honker's Ale from Chicago. It's usually about $2 less a six-pack.

Ummmm, Dead Guy...Arrogant Bastard is pretty tasty as well. (I am so pleased that we Americans have re-discovered decent beer.)

That wouldn't be Shogoth's Old Peculiar, would it?

Well, we could relabel it, but it's Theakston's Old Peculier. It used to come in three packs of 10 oz wide-mouth bottles, which was about enough to do some liver damage (and leave you waking up feeling Old and Peculier!). Now they sell it in sixers of 12 oz, but it just doesn't seem the same.

My all-time favorite is a good bottle of Spaten's Oktoberfest Ur Marzen, but it doesn't ship and hold well, so it's inconsistent. When it's good, it's very good indeed. When it's off, it's mediocre.

I like the Hacker Pschorr Octoberfest.

That's a pretty good one too. The Paulaner Oktoberfest is a bit thin and metallic to me.

lol, Tully. Thanks for the info! I was just thinking of a Lovecraftian short story title by Neil Gaiman, who wrote Douglas Adams' first biography ("Don't Panic"). And a few other things as well.

Of course,Lovecraft was pretty Old and Peculiar himself...

I've met Neil. Nice guy, helluva writer, a wee bit peculiar. I've got a signed copy of ANGELS AND VISTATIONS on the shelf next to me right now, and a copy of CORALINE around here somehwere. And AMERICAN GODS, of course.

Really? Kewl! I'll have to repeat your story to one of my writing friends. I introduced her to "Sandman", and now she's a bigger fan than I am. She writes quite a bit like him; besides, he's "cool looking".
I've read most of his books: I liked CORALINE, though I think saying it was better than "Alice In Wonderland" was a bit overblown. I've already requested ANANSI BOYS for the library here. And he's pretty cute too. ;-)

hmmm had a pony keg of Newcastle at a party at my house once. That's about 16 gallons of fine brew. Was pretty fresh tasting. Whole thing was emptied out by 11pm, no leftovers.

I'm jealous, Marcus! Did you double-tap it, so one person could just lay under one spigot without breaking the flow to everyone else?

Mmmmmm, Newcastle draft.....[Homer drool]

No it was a springtime socialization party, lots of people from the Sunday Morning Ride ( a Marin county tradition for about 50 years now) some hairdressers I knew at the time and other friends and family.
I had the first glass and the last. I had just finished filling it up to toast myself for a successful party when it sputtered at the end.

The next day, Sunday of course, I got a speeding ticket for going 85 while on the way to Mill Valley for the start of the ride..
Did I care? No.
