Newcastle is thought to be the first place in Britain to brew beer. It is known, however, that Newcastle's first commercial brewery, John Barras and Company of Gateshead, was established here in 1770. Since 1927, the city has been the home to the production of Newcastle Brown Ale, known locally as "Dog." Today, it is the top-selling bottled beer in Europe

Subject: Re: Useless Thu Nov 08 2007, 14:10

Newcastle brown ale is no longer brewed in Newcastle
