Newcastle Piped Ale


Last night I drank a pint of my favourite beer: Newcastle Brown Ale.

Nothing strange about that, you might think. Nothing at all - except for the fact that Newcastle Brown Ale is only ever sold in bottles. And yet, as my children are my witness, I experienced first hand how my pint (sorry, 12oz) was poured from a tap (see the handle in the picture) in a local bar.

Fortunately, despite this novel mode of delivery, my "Newkie Brown" still tasted as good as ever. Though purist that I am, I did miss sipping it from my bottle in time-honoured fashion.
