Many people would disagree with Newcastle brown ale being a craft ale (would love to hear other views) but for me it gave me the push to experiment with new beers and ales after an early life of tasteless boring best bitters.
As previously mentioned the brown ale was drunk when the landlord had issues with the pumps and it was the next alternative. I thoroughly enjoyed that first bottle and that changed my drinking habits forever.Its been a brilliant journey seeking out ales from around the world.So let’s get down to the nitty gritty and talk about some fabulous or not so fabulous drinks/pubs/breweries or anything beer related really,in fact doesn’t need to be related to beer at all.
