Borran's Beer Review: Newcastle Brown Ale

![DSCN6671edit.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/borran/4qxpB1i1-DSCN6671edit.jpg)

---

##### The beer I'm reviewing today is Newcastle Brown Ale, brewed by John Smith's brewery in England. It's a quite famous beer. I believe somewhere somehow, you have seen this logo. Or maybe you have even tasted it. 

---

##### Description of the beer:

>##### "The One and Only! One of the most well known brands in the world. It has a dry nutty taste with a delicate floral aroma. Newcastle Brown is easy to drink as a lager with a distinct character of a British ale."
[Source](https://brewery.no/en/products/newcastle-brown-ale-3/)

---

##### History & Facts:

##### - John Smith acquired the Backhouse & Hartley brewery in 1852.
##### - The company was taken over by Courage in 1970 who extended distribution of the brewery's products into the South of England.
##### - Courage was acquired by Scottish & Newcastle in 1995, and the operations were purchased by Heineken in 2008.
##### - The brewery brews 3.8 million hectolitres annually (1.3 million of which is John Smith's beer), and employed around 300 people in 2008.
##### - John Smith's Brewery in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, England, produces beers including John Smith's, the highest selling bitter in the United Kingdom since the mid-1990s.

---

##### Newcastle Brown Ale
##### Extra Smooth Ale
##### John Smith's Original Ale
##### Bulldog Strong Ale

##### *Appearance: brown color, with a small white head.*

##### *Smell: malty, caramel, hint of hops.*

##### *Mouthfeel: light body, medium carbonation.*

##### *Taste: malt-dominated flavor, with a light hoppiness in the finish.*

---
##### Nothing special, but for a mass-produced cheap beer it's not bad. The beer is easy to drink, quite watery, but it still has some nice nutty flavor.    

---

##### Verdict - My rating: 3 out of 5.

---

#### Newcastle Brown Ale:

I have to agree - I remember maybe 10-15 years ago when these traditional British ales were something a bit special compared to the pale yellow fizzy stuff which was all we had back then, but with some much craft beer choice now I wouldn't go out of my way for this brew.

Yah that one is definitely world famous. With the proliferation of craft beer and the trendy new styles and local brands, I don’t see it everywhere. Thought, at any traditional Irish or English pub, you always have this option. 

Definitely a classic enjoyed by generations!

Nice work again man!
