I believe the tap version is BUL by Fosters in the same plant that does Guinness and Kilkenny. The UK Newcastle brewed bottle version isn't brewed in Newcastle any more, but in Gateshead across the river in the former Northern Clubs Federation Brewery that Scottish Courage took over a few years ago. My brother lives round the corner.
When I was a kid, the broon was called 'jungle juice' and 'journey into space' after a sci fi show of the time. A shadow of its former self although still drinkable.
There's a Bris. club comp on after Easter for a UK brown and I'll have a crack at an AG 5.5 version. I have found out what hops they use.
Well how about that, Fosters can brew a good beer! The BUL Guinness is rubbish, but if they do Newcastle too, I'm impressed. If only all their BUL beers are that good.
