Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RECE3K - Newcastle Brown Ale is a brown ale, originally brewed in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Launched in 1927 by Colonel Jim Porter after three years of development, the 1960 merger of Newcastle Breweries with Scottish Brewers afforded the beer national distribution and sales peaked in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s. The beer underwent a resurgence in the late 1980s and early 1990s with student unions selling it. By the late 1990s, the beer was the most widely distributed alcoholic product in the UK. By the 2000s, the majority of sales were in the United States, although it still sells 100 million bottles annually in the UK. Brewing moved in 2005 from Newcastle to Dunston, Tyne and Wear, and in 2010 to Tadcaster. In 2017, the Heineken Brewery in Zoeterwoude, the Netherlands, also began production. As of 2019, it is brewed as well by Lagunitas Brewing Company in Petaluma, California, and Chicago, Illinois, for the American market.
Newcastle Brown Ale is perceived in the UK as a working-man's beer, with a long association with heavy industry, the traditional economic staple of the North East of England. In export markets, it is seen as a trendy, premium import and is predominantly drunk by the young. It was one of the first beers to be distributed in a clear glass bottle and is most readily associated with this form of dispense in the UK.
The blue star logo was introduced to the Newcastle Brown Ale bottle in 1928, the year after the beer was launched. The five points of the star represent the five founding breweries of Newcastle.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 6042292747 - 'Kool And The Gang - Ladies Night - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
I was a late convert to the value of disco, but this must be a certain classic.
Kool &
the Gang are an American jazz, R&
B, soul, funk and disco group, originally formed in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1964. They went through several musical phases during the course of their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then becoming practitioners of R&
B and funk, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.
The late 1970s saw a lull in Kool &
the Gang's except for the album 'Open Sesame' which yielded the title track 'Open Sesame' which achieved some success in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. T
hen came new lead singer James 'J.T.' Taylor who joined the group \u2014 with this track from 1979, Ladies' Night. Their number one hit in 1980's 'Celebration', from Celebrate!, co-produced by Eumir Deodato. More international hits followed in the early 1980s, including 'Big Fun', 'Get Down on It', and 'Joanna'. Their 1984 album Emergency yielded four top-20 pop hits, including 'Fresh' and 'Cherish'. Their chart presence stopped after Forever. Taylor left the group amicably to pursue a solo career.
In Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, town is pronounced \u2018toon\u2019, and going out is \u2018gannin oot\u2019. Hen and stag nights are big business if \u2018yous lot is aal gannin out on the toon!\u2019.
A whole industry has sprung up supporting male strippers, burlesque hen night dance party experiences, casino meals and MTV babes (allegedly..).
Walking around toon on a Saturday night you can see where some of Chris Donald's Viz characters came from. Buster Gonad, The Fat Slags, Sid The Sexist and Brown Bottle are there to be found only a 15 minute walk away from the Quayside. Still, its all a bit of laugh, ,just watch those jelly (jello if you are from the other side of the pond) vodka shots!
Here, the group pose against the Newcastle Millenium bridge, a rare tilting example.
