There is not enough alcohol in Newcastle. 3.7% WTF ,That's less than Bud Light >:( . I can't stomach more than 2, they're way too sweet and malty. Now give me a good India Pale Ale or Russian Imperial Stout and I'll make Picasso's work look like it was done by a monkey.  ;D Good beer starts at 7%.

BTW PUI-ing. ;D

Nwcastle from tap is light years better than from the bottles. Something aboout the clear glass I think. Not quite as horrid as a green bottled beer, but still has a whiff of skunkiness.
True, takes a few Newcastles to do anything. Try an Eye of the Hawk for some octane...  ;)

Funny that you mention the skunkiness in Newcastles, Jim. My friend's girlfriend always points that about the tall (22-24oz. ??) clear bottles. Once in awhile, I'll grab one of those on the way home to enjoy with my take-out dinner, after work. She's right; the talls have it, whereas the standard 12oz. bottles... not-so-much.

Weird.

Dunno, but that theory works for me. Anything is possible with clear bottles. The better biers are typically offered in dark brown glass. Very few green bottles have decent brews. I went through a brief Rolling Rock phase in the late '80s. When I'm in Mexico, I'll sometimes get the Dos Equis in the green bottles. There's really not too many others that I can think of worth mentioning.

Strange... those green bottles. They need to make ORANGE ones, dang it.

I did Rolling Rocks too about 1989-90 or so. before I was legit.
