" It's a good beer and a bottle beer the Norths' biggest sale. For complete satisfaction Newcaste Brown Ale" Tune Cushy Butterfield. Aye, that's right, I remember that now.....funny how some adverts stick in your mind....probably because it's a beer!  |

Remember the advert.  Matter of interest! I've been away so long, when and why did they start calling broon, dog? Is it "a hair of the dog......" thing? Any takers? |

Fairsy it's been called Dog for as long as I can remember and that's from being a child. Parents were in Pub and Club trade. Had to do with it having a 'bite' or some such stuff hence the term Dog. Although I always used to laugh at one or two locals who came in one of the pubs we had that simply called it Fallin Doon Water. Mind you there was a few brews like that..............Exhibition being one of mine later in life. CWL  |

I've always thought that Broon was called "dog" because of the fact that the husband of the house was supposed to be "taking the dog for a walk" but in fact he was off to the pub/club for a pint/s of that rich brown brew called Newcastle brown ale! ;D Newcastle Amber Ale was Broon's sister ale with a similar shaped bottle & label. |
