Newcastle Brown Ale

One of my favourites!
Newcastle Brown Ale is a brand of beer produced by Scottish & Newcastle, [now part of Heineken International]. The beer was introduced in 1927 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, by Newcastle Breweries, which became Scottish & Newcastle in 1960. In 2005, brewing was moved out of Newcastle for the first time to the other side of the River Tyne, to Dunston in Gateshead. In 2009 it was announced that production would move to Tadcaster North Yorkshire.
Newcastle Brown Ale was originally created by Colonel J. Porter in 1925. The recipe, however, was adapted over a period of three years to create the flavour that is distinct to the beer today. When first exhibited, Newcastle Brown Ale swept the board at the prestigious 1928 International Brewery Awards. The gold medals from these awards are still featured on the label.
Newcastle Brown Ale went into production at Tyne Brewery in 1927, with Newcastle Breweries having occupied the site since 1890, with brewing on the site dating back to 1868. The production launch of Newcastle Brown was said to have been an overnight success, with claims that the day after it went on sale, the Police requested the strength be reduced, because the cells were already full.
The blue star logo was introduced to the Newcastle Brown Ale bottle in 1928, the year after the beer was launched. The five points of the star represent the five founding breweries of Newcastle.
The beer was largely unavailable in South East England and the Midlands until a successful promotional campaign in the late 1980s, but is now one of the country's leading bottled ales. The beer has been available in keg in these areas since late 2003 (although it was available in keg in the Newcastle area before that) and can also be purchased in cans.
The beer is also available in British-themed pubs as a draught beer in Australia and New Zealand and the USA

I've seen this around liquor stores here in Alberta but am not an Ale fan, for the most part.
Must be a Canadian thing - we mostly drink Pilsens & Lagers.
