I think know what you mean, though. I do feel it loses something if you follow the back-label instructions of half-filling a pint glass from your bottle and topping it up.

The idea of Newkie on tap is still a wonder to me, though.

It’s sort of strange. So much of the joy of Newky Brown comes from the bottle itself from, I think, the way the beer is bottle fermented (presumably) to the actual way of drinking. Drinking it from a pint glass makes it kinda ordinary. It’s still lovely and that but I didn’t feel like I was drinking anything special, compared, say, to drinking Guinness in Dublin.

So: nice, but nothing really to report.

I’d heard about this actually happening in America. It sounds amazing to me. If you ever get past the inevitable 381,789 things you have to blog about then more precise thoughts about this would be appreciated by me. No pressure though.
