Broon Ale or "Dog" as it is known in it's home city comes with some specific instructions on drinking.
A bottle of Newcastle Brown (pint) should be served with an empty schooner type glass (half pint) and poured so as to form a head. The glass should be topped up periodically to maintain that head before the glass is empty.
When the glass is empty one should return to the bar and purchase another and repeat the process but with a clean glass.
These guidlines were actually printed on the reverse of the bottle label at one stage.
A very good beer and one with some heritage. My understanding is that it shares it's birthday (1927) with the completion of the construction of the Tyne Bridge.
I am conscious that this is turning into a bit of a lecture so I will shut up now
