Beer - Newcastle Brown, Dark Lane Porter and Shipyard American IPA

(Edited)

We had a few beers over Christmas when we called in at various cafes. I'm not a big drinker, especially in the afternoon but it was Christmas time after all. Newcastle Brown was the first one, originally brewed in Newcastle upon Tyne. You can't beat a bit of "Newky Brown".

As it states on the label, it is affectionately known as "dog". In my area, people say "I'm going to see a man about a dog", which means I'm not telling you where I'm going, so keep your nose out. In Newcastle, apparently Geordie men used to say the same to go and have a sneaky pint at the pub. I'm sure some Geordie women did the same!

The bar man also told us the star on the back is a temperature gauge. I'm afraid I don't like my beer icy cold, preferring it to be a bit warm.

Next was Dark Lane Porter that's by a local brewery called Moot Ales in Matlock in Derbyshire and really tasty. The names of their beers are all connected to the area. This was my favourite so we took a couple of bottles home with us.

Last but not least, my brother tried Shipyard American IPA that was founded in the state of Maine in 1992. After a deal with Marston’s in Burton-on-Trent, which isn't too far from here, it is avaible in the UK.

I'm back on the wagon now ....

Great post, I have to admit I do like a porter, whenever I go to beer festivals it’s certainly what I go for over other ales. Keep up the great work 👍🏼

Congrats, welcome back to the wagon, lol!

I used to love Newcastle years and years ago...there was a book written by a Michael Jackson (not that one) and Newcastle was a top 50 beer in the world. How much the beer world has changed since then...

I wondered what Michael Jackson had got to do with Newcastle Brown lol. It used to be a big favourite with students. I still think it's a nice drink but I'm a mere novice.

I'll dig around and see what might be near you! I'm what is called a "beer snob" by some (I'm not really, but that's what you get called if you pass on the Busch Lights over here)

Ha ha. I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to alcohol.
