A Newcastle brown ale
A deep amber beer, malty sweetness and nutty liquorice combine with light tannin for that traditional brown ale bite.
Firebrick Brewery in Blaydon is 400yds from the Tyne and under 5 miles from the centre of Newcastle. The label shows the old suspension “Chainbridge” from Chainbridge Road in Blaydon to Scotswood Road in Newcastle, opened in 1831 and mentioned specifically in the famous Newcastle Anthem “Blaydon Races”; eventually it was considered a bottle neck for traffic, and sadly, demolished in 1967 and replaced by Scotswood Road Bridge.

Cask at the Castle Brew House, Warkworth. Pours clear amber with a thin off-white head. Aromas of light toffee, faint acetic acid. Taste has a light nutty sweetness, touch more acetic.
