Quote:
The bottled beer with its blue star label, first went on sale in 1927 and was brewed next to St James' Park football ground in Newcastle until 2005.
The day after "Broon's" launch, it was said the local police appealed to the brewery to make it weaker because the cells were full of drunks. The ale was also dubbed "dog" by drinkers, as they would make the excuse of going to "walk the dog" when going to the pub.
