Test Your Knowledge of Newcastle Brown Ale

Newcastle Brown Ale is a distinctive variation of a traditional English style of beer that has become popular worldwide. It’s a blend of light and dark malts that create a unique, full-bodied and smooth flavor and cool temperature for easy drinking. It features fewer hops for a less bitter taste and has notes of bananas and dried fruit.
