Newcastle Brown Ale

kinaldo

I haven't seen it in off-licenses for years. Does anyone here happen to know of any shops in Dublin that still sell it?

I haven't had a bottle of Dog in a while, hopefully someone will know where to find it in Dublin, cos I quite like this stuff.

I've seen it in a few places around Dublin. It's nice... when you have no taste buds. All of my friends that have tried it agree it gives the worst hangovers they've ever had (about 8 people so far) so bad that it has it's own name, a brownover.

Dunnes and Tesco's are the main offenders, Delany's (I think that's what it's called) on georges street had it along with the off license across the road from the bleeding horse (beside a centra) That one had bottles while the rest seem to have just cans. Although I don't go out of my way to look for the stuff.

Cheers Mantel. I think a few bottles would go down well later. The Bleeding Horse is on Camden Street, right?

Smoggy

I think I saw it in the porter house.

Dunnes in Ashleaf, Crumlin. Also in Superquinn Walkinstown I think.

The brownover plague is spreading, my 3 year mission to stop it is failing.

I've seen it in loads of offies but only in cans. Tried it once and never again, Foul stuff altogether, just my opinion though.

Sadly its seam to have suffered from mass production, its produced in one of the most souls less place I have ever seen:(

It's one of those get 'em both, pour 'em both in a glass, and taste 'em blind situations.

I'd 2nd this. Tesco have the cans for a long time, i decided to try this ale for the first time out of a can and by god it was muck.

I do know its a delicious ale bottled or on draught in UK but avoid the can people!

Nookie brown is good stuff ,hangovers are worth it .

Why don't they put a widget in the can??

The McHughs off licences on Dublins Northside do bottles of this for about 3.20 I think, quality beer but a severe hangover in the morning after a good few of them!

Porterhouses sell them as well....at about 6 Euro a bottle!!!
