Safety issue not just to please anyone.

The recipe for Newcastle Brown Ale is to change amid US fears it contains a potentially cancer-causing colouring.

[TWR]

How that's Mam? It has never stopped / hurt the Geordies.

[-Talbot-]

Are you kidding?

[Mamyalynne]

Well, if you can prove that no one has or ever will be damaged and the scientists are wrong,best contact the papers.

One of the wards in one of the hospitals in Newcastle was nicknamed the Brown Ale ward.

It's, why aye man, TWR.

[Gromit]

This will just be for export, not for the putrid stuff drank on Tyneside.

Maybe we can get the great Satan to get them to improve the taste while they are at it.

[weecalf]

next they will be changing the colour of choclate cause ours is gooder

[Baldric]

Or even, "Wae'aye man!"

[chrissa1]

Do they export, Newcastle Amber Ale, if they still make it? That was a lighter colour and not as strong as Brown.

[-Talbot-]

To be honest I would rather drink Cillit Bang

[Jackdaw33]

I used to drink Amber Ale, many years ago, but have not seen it for ages. It may still be made for the export market, but not for the home market.

[chrissa1]

I used to drink it as a student, many many years ago.
