Newcastle Scotch Ale

Newcastle is kicking off a new series of "collaboration edition" beers made in partnership with some of Europe's finest and oldest breweries. The first offering in the new Newcastle Collaboration Series is Newcastle Scotch Ale, a collaboration with Edinburgh, Scotland-based sister brewery Caledonian. Available for a limited time only, Newcastle Scotch Ale is a rich, full-flavored and fulfilling Scottish ale with toffee notes, at a 6.4-percent ABV and 40 IBUs. It is a bold yet balanced beer that will please lifelong Newcastle fans, as well as more adventurous drinkers, the company stated. Scotch Ale will be available nationally in six- and 12-packs beginning in mid-November through February. The Newcastle Collaboration Series will continue new rollouts throughout 2015.
