Yeah, I like Newcastle. Aren't you 19 or something?

Yes I'm underage. Arrest me officer!

Hey, me too. Let's go sign up for the Army.

I'd rather sign up for the Navy. I look much better in white.

Dude, whatever, the point is we should go kill people!

navy doesn't always wear white, they change their uniform color witht he seasons (black and white, and i think there is even a brown somewhere in there) hence another reason why some feel the navy isn't quite straight

but yes newcastle is decent drinking beer

Newcastle is all done for tonight. Thankfully, my sister, her boyfriend, and myself will all be drinking together tomorrow night. There will be Newcastle a-plenty.

Well lads and lasses, I live about 5 miles from Newcastle Upon Tyne... home of the obviously world famous Newccy Broon.

Glad you like one of our best exports. I dont drink it often but tis a nice beer.

Keep on drinking, in moderation of course :wink;

Yuengling is great too, for a easily accessible fairly "cheap" beer. You can a sixxer for a tiny bit more than $5 here in North Carolina.

Newcastle is definitely my favorite beer. Don't ever buy it at the grocery store though. Most cities have discount stores (Total Wine and such). You can buy "warm" 12-packs of Newcastle for like $11.99 there. I usually buy a few of those and replace a cold one with a warm one in my fridge every time I drink one.

Newcastle is my beer of choice whenever I head south to the Lower 48 and my favorite local microbrews aren't available. It's actually a tie between Newcastle and Guinness.

Guinness is a different kind of beer. I'd drink Guinness after a meal, on a full stomach, where I'm just looking to enjoy the flavor of a beer. Newcastle is lighter and I'd drink it with a meal as a beverage.

exactly. Guiness is almost a meal in itself. Newcastle is a great beer, but I went got some India Pale Ale last week cuz I wanted to change it up. Then I realized I don't like IPA's, too bitter. New Castle sounds like an appropriate switch up for this week.

Ick, I don't like the Yuengling. Newcastle is in a different league, an all around great beer. :beer:

You are insane. Newcastle is hardly in a different league.

Newcastle Rating.

Yuengling.

Get your head on straight, pal. :p

every once in awhile, Ralph's will have a 12-pack for 10.99 and even lower at Rite-aid for 9.99. We stock up during those times :D. I'll be sure to post next time I see them at this price.
