The end of Newcastle Brown Ale brewing on Tyneside

An iconic drink whose sales in the USA out-strip demand in local pubs and clubs - the Federation Brewery in Gateshead has brewed its last barrel of Newcastle Brown Ale as production transfers to Tadcaster in Yorkshire! It could be a useful micro-example of structural unemployment in the regional labour market. The good news is that Newcastle Brown Ale will now be produced less than three miles from Tutor2u’s Head Office! On a good day and with the wind in the right direction, the head wafts of Brown Ale malts may well find their way into our building!
