It's a shame that you have not had the opportunity to sample their product in the late 1960s, and before they changed the formulation...Now that WAS a beer to go out of your way for, whether or not you were officially much too young to drink and only managed to do that because you were about 6 inches taller than your classmates, had a voice that broke when 11 years of age, and a reported "presence and maturity beyond your years"...
Newcastle & Scottish Breweries changed both the formulation of malts AND THE SOURCING OF THE HOPS, which radically "watered down" the characteristics of the original, in much the same way that Guinness brewed out of Ireland is but a pale shadow of the genuine article...
But thanks for provoking memories of the original "Newcastle Brown"... I can almost taste it now!...
