Strange but true . . .

Newcastle Brown Ale will no longer be brewed on Tyneside, its makers said.
Manufacture of the famous Geordie brand will switch to Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, Scottish & Newcastle (S&N) said.
It wants to close the Federation Brewery, Dunston, Gateshead, with the loss of 63 jobs by the middle of next year, because of falling beer sales in the UK. The famous bottled beer, with its blue star label, first went on sale in 1927 and was brewed next to St James's Park football ground in Newcastle until 2005.

Whatever next?
