Pint of Newcastle please

It doesn't sound right does it?  A pint of Newcastle.

Here in America, you can buy Bottles of Newcastle's Brown Ale everywhere.  I have seen it sold in every supermarket I have bought food.  Not all pubs stock it, but all the big ones do.

During my second or third visit with Vicky, we had a meal in a pub called the Union Jack.

I'm going off on a tangent here, forgive me.
Check out their beer selection!  Sadly it is not as up to date as it should be.  They often have 20+ english beer's on tap.  And always Newcastle Brown Ale of course.  When I was asked what I wanted to drink, I asked for a bottle of dog.  Moments later the waitress came back to our table to ask me what I meant.  Yes I did this deliberately.

During my Birthday, we stopped at a Buffalo Wings restaurant, yes, this is all they sold!, and I asked for a pint of Brown Ale.  This was then followed up by a 'pint of Newcastle please'.

I want to bring with me as much of my heritage as possible, but I am sad that I will have to relent in some circumstances.

I rarely drank the broon ale back in England.  So with it being sold in a lot of places here, It is now my drink of choice.

A few months ago, my Wife and I were out shopping in a big supermarket called Wegmans.  They have a huge international section.  I was particularly interested in the price differences.

See my old blog post about Wegmans here:

Walking down the international section where the beer was located was weird!, it was like being back at home.  But a beer caught my eye.  The Newcastle 'Werewolf'.  At first I thought it was a local rip-off, but I bought it anyway, and once home, I found it was a real Newcastle product!

This time, whilst out shopping alone last week, my Wife found another!  Newcastle's Winter IPA.  The Werewolf, and the Winter bottles are now kept on the shelf, along with my other wonderful Newcastle things here:

To conclude this blog post, I Love that I can see and enjoy a lot of Newcastle beer here, but I am sad I will have to start calling it by a different name.
