    I was in a casino in Las Vegas and on the off-chance asked if they had Guinness, fully expecting them to say no. But they said they thought they did, then came back with a bottle of Newky Brown. 'We've got no Guinness but I think this is the same thing'.

    Well, no, not really.

    Another casino did sell bottles of Guinness in their shop. It was cheaper there than it is in the Sainsbury's around the corner from my house.

    Their "Workie Ticket" is better in my opinion, but then again I cut my teeth on Strongarm

    Aldi in Hartlepool do bottled Strongarm, so I have a few on hand.

    'Newkie Brown' used to be my regular tipple as a student. These days I wonder how I ever drank it - it's far too sweet and sickly for my taste!

How wrong was i , Ale, very good Ale, stouts etc. So many micro brewers ,almost every bar had a few good ales, so many bottles of the stuff too.
    A friend and I did a bit of a driving tour of California, Nevada and Arizona a few years ago. We pitched up one night at a motel in Death Valley, hotter than hell and we were thirsty. The owners were religious and would only sell a max of 4 beers per person. No matter, we went to the gas station over the road where there was an impressive wall of fridges full of every beer imaginable. Amongst others we bough a 6 pack of brown and headed into the desert for drunken stargazing and to find rattlesnakes. Fortunately there were no snakes but that vast night sky with an electric storm in the distance will stay with me forever.
