Will Clint Eastwood Make Newcastle Brown Ale’s Day?
The Man with No Name is set to have his name and face on bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale to celebrate the drink’s upcoming 80th birthday.
Hollywood filmmaker and actor Clint Eastwood is a longtime fan of the British booze and Newcastle Brown chiefs would want his tough guy features to adorn limited addition anniversary bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale.
Known popularly as ‘The greatest of Ales’, ‘The Drink of Gods’ and the drink for those who want a ilttle bit more ‘bang for buck’, Newcastle Brown Ale is famous for its nice initial tastes and after tastes in the beer drinking community. It’s also Clint Eastwood’s favourite beer, who even had crates of it shipped out to Africa when he was on location filming White Hunter, Black Heart.
Newky’s popularity has never waned. A staggering 216 million pints are now produced a year and more than 40 countries import it in bulk, the biggest buyer being the US, where it is the No.1 selling imported ale.
And the list of local devotees include Geordieborn soccer legend Paul Gascoigne and Auf Wiedersehen Pet actor Jimmy Nail. And Daniel Craig was slurping Newcastle Brown long before he sipped vodka martinis as the suave Bond.
Brewery spokesman Doug Cook says, “Clint is a massive fan of the drink. Having his face on the bottle would be a real eye-catcher.”
