Terrible, god-awful beer. Bleck

Bloody love a Newcy Brown mate
RedWebster
Newcastle marketing is on point.
Quaxx
Thats an expensive beer
Onceanimrodalwaysanimrod1
Truth in advertising.
otherbarryisadick
Plot twist: it's Zimbabwe; worlds cheapest beer at the time. Now they cost 3 million each!
pdbravo
I live in the UK, had Newcy Brown once as that's all they sold there and it was like drinking the urine of a tramp. Never again.
teamsleeper
One of my favorite beers.
hesaidsarcastically
This is a good sign.
JesusofUsersub
That's what I'm saying!
vagabondmedic
Given the comparison; how much does a Superbowl ad cost to sell a $6 beer? So about $5M, plus production costs, to sell a pint?
morningxafter
I love Newcastle. I just wish they'd bring back the Bombshell Blonde Ale.
HeyGuysAmIRelevantYet
Is this Newy Australia? It's my hometown but I haven't been back in forever, which pub's got this?
morningxafter
Nah Newcastle is a brand of beer. Their Bombshell Blond was their summer seasonal a few years back.
JesusofUsersub
This was in Seattle Washington
ManDontCareAboutAllDat
It's Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
HighlandPotatoe
Nope, if it was the sign would have £ instead of $ also you'd pay £5 at the most for a bottle.
rocketman89
First guy meant the beer, second guy thought it was a place, third guy said where Newcastle comes from, you mistook it for where the sign is
moodysmadeye
...that's where Newcastle was originally brewed, not where the pub is.
DPHENS
JesusofUsersub
Exactly!
bigbrothersbinary
??? What's the point?
JesusHorsedickChrist
It's from Always Sunny.

Is this an ad for Wolf Cola
soumastormblessed
I certainly want those cans!
TheDutchSwedish
Turns out you have to pay $7 inside as they had to fund the sign.
tacoparlor
Seriously, as a new business owner, I didn't know how goddamn expensive those signs were.
peridotite
My friends parents owned a restaurant and the beer company let them have one when they sold a certain number of beers. It took them 5 years
peridotite
And they were giddy like little kids when they hung it up.
sckrlfe
400??
wellnoshit
Neon lights aint cheap to buy nor cheap to run.

$6 beer?!
WebDevJewelerReptileLover
Oh look it doesn't understand what a return on investment is.
HighlandPotatoe
Do you understand British Humor?
NSPike
Sign says $ - this isn't in the UK, mate
WebDevJewelerReptileLover
LOL and then he said "british humor" is it my turn to tell the joke?

AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
Since people don't understand, Newcastle's marketing tack is all self-deprecation. At one point they paid $1 per FB like. I have the check.
WebDevJewelerReptileLover
I'm talking about the sign not Newcastle
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
Uh huh. The sign is produced by the brand. The brand is all about self-deprecation. As evidenced by the self-deprecation present in the sign
WebDevJewelerReptileLover
Don't overthink either of my comments. I'm not even sure what they mean
DictatorGui
As someone from the UK, i never understood why everyone in the US loves Newcy Brown. It ain't good!
GhostInTheMachine89
Have you had Budweiser? People associate anything above that with "fancy beer"
Kuhmeister
I've never had it
tarataqa
As someone from the US, we don't drink that shit!
bigeasy44
Everyone? I only drink it at catered events i.e. Weddings when something better isn't available.
MithridateEupator
I live in the US and have never met anyone who likes Newcastle.
ididthisforasinglegreatdanegif
Stella Artois is also marketed in the US as a high-end import...
IamJustinSane
That's why they need the sign. You don't need to advertise the beer everyone loves.
thetonestarr
Everyone?
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
You have to buy the 12-pack that comes with cardboard overwrap. The 6-pack with the clear bottles will skunk by the light of the cooler case
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
(And yes, the 12-pack has clear bottles, too - the point is the cardboard overwrap. Keeps the light out, keeps the beer from getting skunky)
heRapesButHeSaves
As someone from the US, I've never met someone who has tried Newcastle.
HighlandPotatoe
Plus it's not even made in Newcastle anymore..... Deceit and lies.... It's like lindesfarne mead, they simply bottle on the island.
DictatorGui
The world is a lie!!!
dracomalific
I use to like it, but then henikin bought it and it got nasty. We also dont really have a lot of good brown ape options.
DictatorGui
Didn't know Heineken bought it. Also, is that what happened to Harambee?
dracomalific
And they closed New Castle brewery and moved production somewhere else.
jonathanocon
As someone from California. If you've ever had it one a day that was 40 degrees c plus. It taste a lot better
AllTheCoolKidsPeeTheirPants
You gotta try 805 if you haven't yet
jonathanocon
I have and I really like it! I just like Newcastle in a few situations. Like being outside in 100 degree weather for a few hours
Helst
I like it. Got me turned on to brown ales in general. I can't explain why I like it.
InitHello
Well it's not *bad* either. And it's substantially better than the major murican brands.
MarvintheMoose
People like what they like, why do you care?
DictatorGui
Because my views are always rjght. Everyone conform!!
MarvintheMoose
Good enough for me. Now, should I keep hating soccer because it's a stupid sport or a boring sport? ;)
DictatorGui
I'm not a fan of football (soccer). Prefer rugby or Basketball so no haters here
chloramphenicolderivative
Same, as a Dane I hate going abroad and seeing Carlsberg everywhere.
BigHairySandwich
Well... Carlsberg is a pretty good beer. In my experience a lot of other countries' beer tend to be quite thin and watered.
pottage
Now if we could get the special 7.something percent carlsberg I remember drinking in Copenhagen it'd be different. That stuff was nice
ItalianGeordie
As a Geordie I say gan fuck yasell lad !!

Fucking reets. Radgie.
Disgruntled3lf
This is how Americans feel about PBR.
SexPiss
Best ale I've ever had was Wye Valley pale ale. Oh my god. Drank it once years ago in a town called Bromyard. Never seen it since.
DictatorGui
Wye valley is very nice!
SexPiss
I might buy a crate online. I think you can do that anyway
WannaMakeTenBucks
Good advertising and the belief that foreign equals fancy. We have way better domestic brown ales.
jimmysuebob
I prefer any other brown ale in America
DynamicWeight
Meh, I really like the way New Castle tastes. Whats a readily available better domestic Brown Ale for the same price that I should try?
WannaMakeTenBucks
Moose drool would be my choice for a budget domestic brown ale.
WannaMakeTenBucks
Or Sierra Nevada Tumbler.
DynamicWeight
Damn, I do love Moose Drool. Harder to find and more expensive though. One of my old standbys has it on tap though. Yum!
veryfreakingbored
Moose drool is good
HadMeSomeChickens
When I was in the UK I asked why no pubs had New Castle or Bass. Hostle bar tender told me they are poor people beer. It's like British PBR
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
As an ex-bartender I know that for Bass, which i really like. Its quite hard to store correctly, plus distribution on it isn't amazing.

Preach!

Fight me! Newcy Brown is a national treasure.

StonedLikeACheatingMuslimWoman
What's your favorite British beer? I'm not sure what's available here, but Newcastle, Old Speckled Hen, and Youngs are everywhere.
Thundamuffin
Old speckled hen tastes like rust.
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
For me I always go local, when i was a student in Ealing all i drank was Fullers. And before + after Uni i lived in Bristol, so its Butcombe
DictatorGui
Well, as a more famous brand which you may know, there is Brewdog (made in Scotland) that might be in the US. Lots of micro breweries around
pdbravo
Had a pint of Theakston's in Durham in 1994 and it was the best pint I've ever had.

Black sheep is heavenly

Yes I can actually get that here! I'll check it out

UnemployedInGreenland
I discovered Boddington's on my honeymoon cruise. Highly prefer it to Newcastle any day of the week
Earlkay
You're making yourself look worse
UnemployedInGreenland
I wasn't trying to make myself look better, so no skin off my nose.
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
As a Brit, i think its alright. Not amazing, not dreadful.. Out of 10 its a solid 6.5/10 in my books. However i remember it being a lot >
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
better a few years ago, maybe 5 or more years ago.
nyquihol
Only 67 beers worth.
cominginhot
only if he pisses beer
Darjanator
Slightly more. There's probably 50-66% profit on that, so they'd actually need to sell somewhere around 125 to break even. Still easy.
FriendOfShaq
Hold my whiskey, I got this.
Tornadotaco
Since that sign will last half a century, it's pretty good advertising for the money. It's not just for the bar, it's for the brand
demegeek
but how much does the electricity to keep it running cost?
ofcoursethatusernamewastaken
And they gotta buy the beer
MOTHERFUCKINGVIRGINMARY
And pay someone to prepare the beer
SilentInSUB
About 2 beers a week.
TeeMee123
yeah if there are any beers left over, chuck them in the biofuel engine
eion85
Try 2 beers every 40 days, if you run it 24 hours a day. http://www.jantecneon.com/Frequently-Asked-Questions.html

That math is worth about one upbeer
ZombieBagel
I move that we convert all fake internet points into units of beer.
