I’m going to see a man about a dog

We have all heard the saying I’m going ot see a man about a dog, or I’m going to walk the dog, well it is thought that is was originated from Newcastle Brown Ale.  The story goes that the dog was really the code word for a Newcastle Brown Ale and the trip was really down to the pub.  This tasty English ale was orignally created by Colonel J Porter back in 1925 and over the next three years was perfected to the beer we know and love today. The gold badges on the distinct yellow and red lable are the  International Brewery Awards it won back in 1928. Up until the 1980’s the beer wasn’t really seen outside the UK Midlands and South Eastern Side of England but now it can be purchased just about anywhere in the world and is a favorite at a British style pub.  So next time your down the local see that man about a dog and enjoy a frothy brown ale.
