Nukey Brown Ale

[Caractacus]

All I can recall of drinking said stuff was that my s***e turned black. On the whole, I'd have preferred the hallucinations.

magoo - I have done some research on the said brew.

There is nothing in the making process that includes a plant, unless it's a secret.

Sorry about the anagrams it was the only interesting thing I found during my research.

Continue enjoying your ale.

what i actually meant was calling it newquey not newcastle. think some jordies are worried the non- locals will think its from cornwall not newcastle.

....Caerphilly?

It's too sweet, strictly for kids, the Alcopop of its day.
When there, drink 80 shillings or better still, Fed.

My Mrs did 6 weeks training at St. Nicks in Newcastle - as did every other nurse in her RGN class. There IS a ward in that hospital that is colloquially named the 'Newcy Broon' ward but it contains the devotees of alcohol in general and NOT 'Broon' specifically.
In short - it's the victims of alcohol ward and not any particular brew or brand.
I'm fully aware of the legends and why they crop up regularly - my father loved this particularly hideous concoction and was a violent lunatic, but he was that way (according to family who grew up with him) way before he ever encountered Newcastle Brown Ale.
Grow up people - drink doesn't make people monsters, it only releases the monster that is already there, hiding below the surface.
You shouldn't assume that I'm anti-alcohol - I aint, in fact I'm considered a heavy drinker by all that know me (especially my GP) I'm just trying to interject a modicum of reality into this discussion. I've heard/read similar claims about absinthe - the truth is that only people with the rare condition of temporal lobe epilepsy are at ANY risk of adverse reaction to this drink, other than the usual drunkenness & hangover.

bizarre, this original discussion is 4 years old!!!

I thought the myopic one had returned.

I had a 'Moment' there, I saw JJ and Magoo in the thread, I was just about to 'cunt' them off, when I realised I had gone into a Tardis and fucked off back to 2005, I blame Hexy.
