Bottles of dog what?

In the North East, Newcastle Brown Ale is often given the nickname "Dog", alluding to the British euphemism of seeing a man about a dog * It is also known as Broon; 'brown', as pronounced in the Geordie dialect.

*is an English language colloquialism, usually used as a way to say one needs to apologize for one's imminent departure or absence – generally euphemistically to conceal one's true purpose, such as going to use the toilet or going to buy a drink.

Also: hair of the dog that bit you. The English use of dog is probably derived from that phrase from the Middle Ages.

And speaking of Middle Ages, do Geordies drink cold beer or warm beer? I hope like hell yall don't drank it warm. I mean, I can see drankin it warm when you're having a sneaky drink and your stash is in the garage or some place like that and you gotta knock back a few real quick but just choosing to drink it warm just ain't Christian, Southern, or Confederate.

Cold Bud. Now you're talking.

Cold Bud. Now you're talking.

Bud isnt beer .... its like none alcohol pish.

Unless you just send us the shit stuff.

I have no idea what the alcohol content of Budweiser is. Anything under 5.5 or 5.9 ain't with drinking. Besides, I don't drink beer because it's refreshing. If I'm thirsty I drink water. I drink beer because it tastes good and it gives me a buzz. Period. All this "please drink responsibly" just makes me laugh

I believe we say horse here but we don't call beer horse. Horse is slang for heroin.

I swop and change my drinks from time to time and depending on the occasion. At the moment it is Black velvet with strongbow cider and guinness. Its lovely and you can neck it very easily. Bar men hate making it cos its a fanny to make.

[FORD]

Do you get a straw with that

Fuck no. Hell, I don't even use the glass, that's just for illustration. Well.... obviously if I'm buying it on tap somewhere I would have to use a glass, of course. If you stick your head directly under the tap, they usually throw you out of the bar. (Yes, I am speaking from experience on that one!)

I'm not sure about the UK but the Budweiser they shipped to the orient supposedly had formaldehyde in it as a preservative. You could find clubs usually labeled "American Clubs" that got the same beer they sold in the states and you could easily taste the difference. I drink Bud and Bud Light if I'm drinking beer but I can't say I actually like the taste. I like it better than Coors. Next time I buy some beer maybe I'll try a Newcastle Brown Ale. Do you know if it tastes different here like Bud does there?
