Newcastle Brown Ale is a famous beer brewed in Newcastle upon Tyne since 1927 which is dark brown in colour.
Unlike many British beers Newcastle Brown Ale is always served cold, ideally from a bottle, and drunk from a half-pint glass so as to minimise warming, with a pronounced frothy head (never flat).
The beer was widely unavailable in southern and midland England until a successful promotional campaign in the late 1980s, but is now one of the country's leading bottled ales.
