Born and raised in Scotland, Newcastle Brown was a regular item growing up. So disappointing. In 2010 brewing was moved to John Smiths brewery Tadcaster North Yorkshire until the present day Funny that you mentioned Yuengling Black & Tan; I buy a six-pack of that every time I visit family in Ohioits very good too. Louis These two beers have been very satisfying. Ive been drinking New Castle Brown Ale Nothing wrong with chicken but I wanted a Fucken Steak. Newcastle Brown Ale 5 Ltr Keg. Another option is New Belguim Brewery out of Colorado. Bring back the OG Old Castle!!!! NEWCASTLE BROWN ALE 4FT Wall Sign Plaque bottle beer Pub Bar Man cave garage . It tastes nothing like the sweeter, yeasty/bready, non-bitter Newcastle from England that I used to love. This new flavor ill treat the same as other craft beers, maybe one here or there but wont stock up on it like I did for the One and Only. If you change the recipe of something you cant keep calling it the same thing. Where can I buy my old Newcastle??????? I brought 6 bottles today and its as good as ever, its sad that its been ruined in the US Newcastle had been my favorite beer for over 20 years. [3] This recipe is nowhere near as smooth as it used to be. Since I will not be drinking new Newcastle. SO DISAPPOINTED! Im so hip and cool! Real appropriate that Lagunitas, the brewer of this crap, has the word anus in its name. you mother fuckers!! From first to wort trending in the wrong direction. No more Newcastle purchases for me and Lagunitas, you are now on my sh*t list, it will be a while before I can buy any of your products again after this stunt. I then continued on through all the comments above. Bring back the old beer! Dont change your fomula. Boo! Heck, on a recent day trip had a great ale from a micro in LaBelle, FL. Your point is a good one Michael. Will never buy this beer again: unless the old one is brought back. Needless to say, the real deal players dont need expensive tour buses and big hotels to prove chops or buy fame, they live it in small Smokey clubs in New Orleans and Memphis. Just because you own the brand what makes you think you improve what has been made and appreciated for scores of years. Im telling everyone I like it and I posted to Instagram! What you have done is absolutley ruin a wonderful recipe. 4.87. Yield: 5 Gallons . A lovely treat, crisp, nutty brown ale, like God intended, a joy to savor.

Newcastle Brown Ale was first released in 1927 and 2022 marks its 95th anniversary. is this an attempted at a New Coke debacle? The response,sorry you feel that way blah blah blah. It was the best beer after Guinness Stout and this recipe change was certainly not for the better. I hope this recipe change fails miserably and disappears forever. Just finding that it changed? My favorite smooth, thirst quenching and easy drinking beer in the world is now ruined by these douche monsters. So far nothing has changed but we need to keep the pressure on them. Ive been drinking this beer since the early 90s and this is just disgraceful. FU Lagunitas. It was smooth enough when I wanted something light and had flavor and body when I wanted something more than a lager. It still tasted better than the crap they are selling now. Very dissapointed with the new product. Heineken has one fine Marketing department for sure. Someone should kick the genius who thought this was a good idea in the a@@. Bad move Newcastle, you will be extinct in 12 months! Insanely disappointing. & Chicago, IL. I will now turn my back on my favorite beer ever. We will no longer buy your version. The old stuff is still being made in England, maybe you managed to find an importer? I went to bed and Newcastle Brown Ale was amazing! I actually spit it out! That was 16 years ago. They are in lockdown, but I hope to hear back at some point. Now this. At this point anyone trying to get Heineken to change back is really wasting their time, THEY DONT CARE! You Suck FOREVER!!! I feel like I lost my best friend. Heard nothing from Heineken, a feeble response from Lagunitas, and an incredibly stupid response from the FNBA folks that started with Well, at first folks didnt like Kale either! Great business plan Lagunitas, take an already great ale and wipe your asses all over it? I found Shiner Bock to be the closed Made in USA brew to Newcastle Brown. Rubbish! Or, the brewmaster at Lagunitas has too much pride to brew someone elses beer, so they created their own beer and stole the popularity of the Newcastle name. Then I looked it up. I will NEVER buy another drop of that disgusting crap. No malt beverage involved. I knew it with the first sip This is NOT NBA so change the name. Its nice to know i am not the only old fart that still remembers the original Newcastle brown (i can even spell it as one word). I have been a Newcastle Brown drinker since the mid 80s. I didnt know the beer changed any more than the ridiculous new label. If they wait too long, they will have lost us forever. New taste is terrible! Bought my monthly 12 pack quaffed 1 little weird. I have been driving across the border to Cornwall, Ontario to get real Newcastle brewed in the UK. I dont get it either and I certainly dont get the US as the only country getting this crap while the rest of the world gets the old recipe. The new Newcastle Brown Ale is disgusting! By the way all your other beer sucks and I have never liked any of them! Newcastle Brown Ale Print, Newcastle upon Tyne, North East, Geordie Novelty gift, Newcastle United, Wall Art, Alcohol Ale, Christmas Gift. Might consider changing the name to Newcrapple. Original recipe will always be my favorite, this new recipe is akin to yuengling now. Anyone remember New Coke? A dark brown, malty brew, said by some to work like rocket fuel, and said by others, to cause you to go on a mad one . The complete destruction of a great beer with the replacement having no character and an insult to the original. Ill pile on with the New Castle Sucks comments. Time for a nice Newcastle. Why in the wide world of sports did they think this would be a good idea. looking for another beer. Pre-Owned. It now tastes like all the other shit beers on the market! Wont be buying it again. Working on last 12 pack ever! After that, I guess I might as well drink Buttwiper. I hope they both fail miserably at this. Will be the last I purchase unless its changed back. To the contrary, Lagunitas Master Brewer Jeremy Marshal pointed out that the Chicago brewery uses a British-style house yeast. So Heiniken said screw that, lets make it tase bad, I even hate the new logo. If it aint broke dont fix it. Only way they saved it was to roll back and hopefully ncb will do the same. But this is not what I wanted. WHY???!!! Hard to find traditional real English ales in the US these days. Id rather drink bud lite than drink this generic tasting garbage Bummer! Two breweries owned by Heineken USA are collaborating. I once knew. What contact addresses did you use? Go to shop . The beer I have loved for DECADES is gone! Not even close to the crappy new recipe. This new so-called beer SUCKS!! Quick buy. Considering all the things that government does that it has no business doing, the one thing it should do is protect the public from fraud. No frills, slightly sweet, and beautiful on a hot summer day. I will be looking for the Kilt Lifter and give it a go. In 2010 brewing was moved to John Smiths brewery Tadcaster North Yorkshire until the present day Take the name off the bottle bc this shwill is not anywhere near the Newcastle Just a week ago I was drinking a REAL Newcastle and for some reason this six pack tasted particularly awesome! Not too sweet. Im not joking, Its The Only Beer I drink damit!!! Take all remaining bottles and kegs back to where they were purchased and claim fraud. For starters, its less sweet. Close Print Water Requirements . Newcastle used to be one of the few beers that jacked up my sinuses but now that theyve switch Im have the same problems as every other beer. With so many negative comments, how long are you going to keep this up? Then the moves to Gateshead, Tadcaster, Netherlands, and now USA? I dont see the purpose of purchasing a name then changing the recipe. I migrated to Kilt Lifter a while back but went back to Newcastle (when it was really Newcastle). I went by today and there was another six. Go back to brewing piss water IPAs so overhopped to cover up shit brewing skill, and leave Newcastle to people who can actually brew a real ale that doesnt taste like every other American piss-beer. I thinnk that is the best thing for this blog, mention good replacements both local stuff (name the area) and that which can be found accros the country. People just quit drinking it. Its not fit for pigs. They ruined it! Been there, done that. why not make both? SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER. When my usual retailer stocked the ale again I thought it was just a packaging change. Since 1987. The new packaging and label was a give away how bad this would be, but had to try it since Ive been a Newcastle fane for several years. Trouble is some are regional brews. I echo you all. Im super sad. Now, to me, it has nothing to distinguish it from any of dozens of other hoppy American brews out there.

When do we hold a funeral for my beloved English brown ale? I will have to find another brown ale that someone didnt feel the need to fix. that beanies and weenies is gourmet cooking! Complaining is fine, but someone needs to act. When sales improve, the brand may consider extensions. This horse piss doesnt deserve the Newcastle name and should be halted ASAP! New recipe is awful, and now just tastes like Lagunitas. I tried the new version as well and let me tell you its crap! I dont see how they can even keep the name when it isnt the same beer. I now actually prefer it over Newcastle. If those responsible are smart enough (which remains to be seen), you know that an advertising campaign will be needed to convince the Newcastle faithful that the original ale they love is back. I will not spend another dime on this foul tasting crap. Your new Newcastle is really disappointing. Its all about money and making California left wings happy. This new recipe SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! If there is an upstart brewer out there that could duplicate the old beer I believe they could do well from all of us that prefer the old recipe. Wont buy again until its changed back. In any case, loyal drinkers of the original NBA must find some alternative beer. I will never support any of their other brews unless they go back to original. Its useful for cleaning my tools, killing snails, and in a pinch I can pour the beer in the toilet and use the bottle for a candle holder. I thought I bought a skunky batch of Newcastle only to discover they changed the recipe. Only when the bottom live changes will the producers realize and pay attention to their once faithful customers. That's because production has moved from the Netherlands to the U.S., where Chicago's Lagunitas Brewery will now make the beer under a new recipe. I dont know why theyd change it; those who liked Newcastle likely did so because it was its own thing, not because it was derivative. Way to go assholes. The new recipe sucks! Read reviews and buy Newcastle Brown Ale - 6pk/12 fl oz Bottles at Target. Also poured out 11 out of 12.. literally couldnt get myself to have another one. Equally disappointed. I hope they go out of business!!!!!!!!!! New Castle was my go to beer. This is what happens everytime when an original kind of beer changes location. Holy Hellshit Lagunitas this is HORRID, Youve trashed a classic. Folks didnt like kale at first either (yet were nothing like that weird leafy green), so cmon, give us another go! After the 2nd purchase I realized it wasnt only the bottle that changed, the brewery and flavor had changed. NEW CASTLE BROWN ALE. This new formula tastes like something every dime-a-dozen craft brewery offers. But leave Newcastle Brown out of it, it has nothing to do with this. Let another brewery make and bottle NCBA by following the original recipe. I have been drinking Newcastle Ale for more than 19 years and am DISGUSTED by the change. Now it is fucked! With its release in 1925, Newcastle Brown Ale set the stage for the success and future popularity of the style. I too was a big time Newcastle fan. Then I thought maybe I got a bad batch, but nomy favorite beer for over 20 years has been completely RUINED!!!! I did not realize that it would be the last Newcastles I would ever drink. I have stopped buying it. My father-in-law (whom is no longer with us) was born and raised in the Newcastle area (Tyne & Wear). I guess Heineken has taken on the Apple mentality. The package looked different, but I didnt think much of that. If this is what they do to a classic cherished beer then they have ZERO taste and ZERO class! Im not sure exactly what all changed, but I dont like it. It was the only beer my wife would drink. Heineken are you listening????? This is one of the dumbest decisions I can imagine. As others posted, I not only wont drink another of these Newcastles, I also wont drink any of the other Lagunitas beers on principle. New formulainterpretation: Dumbed-downed, common tasting american beer for people who swear Lagunitas makes great beers but no one needed to screw with this one! my Yuengling and I are offended that is being compared/equalled to new-recipe Newcastle swill (fm chicago & california).

Sparge into two kettles, one at a time, then adjust wort gravity to 1.050 and 1.035, respectively. Kent Goldings hops at :30 Its not even so much that this new formula is a bad beer but Newcastle had such a unique taste and flavor and was so smooth and drinkable, and thats exactly what I wanted this early autumn evening. I called Lagunitas to ask if they had finally got the brew formula back to original. Smithwicks is my new go to brew, the ale that Newcastle once was. Screw you Heineken. Screw Heineken. The whole point of enjoying original (imported from Holland) Newcastle, was the flavor and followup. I have a case and will finish but guess wont buy again. Lets make them fix this and bring back our beloved Newcastle recipe!! Complete failure. The BEER WARS in Europe will never end. Maybe there will be something come along tgat is not tied to Americas youth lovimg hoppy beer. USA: (FL) Dunedin . Michelob Amber Boch maybe???

How rare it was in those days. Im beyond upset.smh. Not anymore!!! My favorite beer now sucks. Bring back the Old Tried and True recipe. My wife had been buying 12 packs of Newcastle Brown Ale for me for some time. You can keep this new recipe all to yourselves. Another loyalist lost, good luck. You should get together and work on destroying some of the over-population of overly-hopped beers, instead of ruining a classic. Theyve lost another regular customer. I loved Newcastle, Bad business decision because your core Newcastle lovers are what keeps your sales up. UK production is for UK and Europe and is still Original Brown Ale Bring the original dog back. newcastle now tastes like everyone elses brown ale!!!!!!! I just got some and was pretty much duped by the label. Hopefully I can still buy the original recipe online and the Lagunitas Brewery here in Petaluma CA burns to the ground So much for the one and only. I can drink every single style of beer there is but if they even think of calling this hoppy they are wrong. I was thrilled to find the list on this page of all the people that HATE the new Newcastle Brown Ale. Fine, and a warm and friendly f*** y** to you, too. Wrong! Everyone should call the number on the bottle and complain. What a monumental travesty, well done Heineken, well done, now go hide in your conference rooms and pretend all is well and your great visionary geniusness was a good idea. Not too bitter. Fans of Newcastle Brown Ale will notice a new flavor. Well now I have to find another beer. I thought it was just me on my first one, but while trying a second one I was thinking to myself that this tastes like a Very Poorly Made IPA, and then did a quick web search and found out I wasnt the only one to have their Favorite Beer ruined. I took one tastethe rest went down the kitchen sink. They took a classic, took a dump on it, IPAfied it. You guys really messed this one up. I knew that Newcastle had slipped a notch or two when they got bought out by Heineken but now it is not even in the playing field. The old recipe was sweet and refreshing. Now they say theyve modified it for the American market? So apparently they think Americans are either insensate creatures of habit or masochists. Expect More. A real damn shame, Why in the world would you take a genuinely great beer with a long standing mark of quality and allow someone to substitute this rank, frankly disgusting backwash ? I hope your happy. Newcastle Brown Ale is a brand of dark brown ale. But then that persons other favorite would be Bud Light. So, before I committed to a half barrel, I bought a six pack of this stuff. Just had my first new Newcastle. Nothing about it is a Newcastle.

Reach him atkswartz@epgmediallc.comor on Twitter@kswartzzor Instagram@cheers_magazine. Turned a lot of friends on to it. Over there in the USA youve got masses of great local breweries all producing far better brews than this multi national factory brewed crap use your local brewery I know the States and I know that the beer you produce is excellent stuff. Pissed Larry, when I commented directly to Lagunitas the response was a non apologetic dribble about how their master brewer wanted to reimagine the iconic Newcastleand tried to make it my problem for not embracing it. Why break Newcastle Brown to add another? Unbelievable. Its very good and helps support the Cajun brewers. the new brown bottling sucks, your new labeling sucks, you have the original recipe and cant even follow it. Now, goddamnit. The taste will never be the same as the pulled down scottish and newcastle brewery. The term brown beer was first used by London brewers in the late 1600s to describe their products, such as mild ale. newcastle has been growing in availability and popularity in midwest now it has been changed into a mass produced overly hoppy run of the mill home brew But for me it was the Yuengling lager version of a brown ale.

I urge you the call or email Heineken and voice your displeasure and distaste. I just signed it but dont have Facebook so Ill share by email. 6. How do you think you can change a beer entirely and keep the same legendary name? No more skunky New Castle!

I am very disappointed with the new beer, its terrible and I wont purchase any more unless it goes back to the original formula. We can only hope. Ill never buy Newcastle or Lagunitas again unless they fix what they broke. I miss the old recipe, and I wish it was back to that, but its not terrible. Go back to the old one. Lagunitas did add 8-10 more IBUs, but they blend in rather than stick out. 65 years old grew up in newcastle. Thanks again for the feedback and perspective. And if this is balanced then throwing shit against the wall is art. Just not the same. The new recipe should NOT be called Newcastle Brown Ale at all! Well my decades long favorite Ale Is now some hoppy swill with a bad after taste. It has a very bitter after taste like an IPA. Please revive the old recipe so I can enjoy beer again. Alongside McKewans IPA and Best Scotch. Laguntas and Heineken you should be ashamed of yourselves. I love craft beer but I dont want all my beer to be craft beer and certainly not my Newcastle brown ale. That is getting harder to find but when you do its a screw job because its bottled in 11.2 ounce bottles. It wouldnt be a terrible beer if you told people what they were getting, then people that like this style would buy it. This is worse than New Coke for those from the 80s. It was my go to beer with meals and didnt weigh you down on Summer days. New Castle came in a clear bottle, if you got a 12 pack which packaged the bottles out of the light, it was the nectar of the gods, bottles buried in ice it was the ultimate summer beer. I usually shop for all of my brew at the Navy Exchange, so if they dont have it I will probably just move on. Thanks Michael and I am afraid you are 100% correct. In summary, today Newcastle is a great place for beer, micro-breweries and micro-pubs but nobody gives a shit about Newcastle Brown any more its history only, and the corporate brewers can do what they like with it, as if we care! Sucks big time!!! Tastes like CRAP !!! Incredibly bad idea. Please sell the old recipe to someone who loves beer. Now I cant even finish one! One day I wake up and La Gunitas and some European-ass-fucking-corporated-fucks destroy one of the few things that make the working man happy. I am flabbergasted by your decision to relaunch the Newcastle Brown Ale product. Even if Newcastle went back to its original recipe I will not.

In this way, your customers will not be duped into buying a cheap imitation. I have tried for two days to drink this but I have noticed that it leaves an awefull bitter aftertaste. Will never buy another bottle until the recipe is changed back. My hatred for Lagunitas is even greater than it was a month ago. Theyve ruined it! It is banned. They did respond politely but they are standing by their new product and proud of the fancy hops they use. Who the hell decided it was a good idea to change the flavor of a classic beer? I cant say it enough. Heineken 0should be forced to change the name of their new brew, because its nothing close to NCBA.
