Newcastle Brown Ale

Newcastle Brown Ale was launched in 1927 and became one of Britain’s most recognizable brown ales. Heineken became connected to the brand through the 2008 acquisition of Scottish & Newcastle. The beer is known for brown colour, smooth malt, caramel sweetness, restrained bitterness, and approachable ale character rather than heavy roasted intensity. Within the archive, Newcastle Brown Ale represents a major British beer identity carried into Heineken’s international portfolio.
