Margaret,"Newbiggin" and ale - decidedly off-topic, from Northumbrian fishin' songs, BUT...
For 5 years "Fox" ran the "Roaring 40s Brewery" here on StewartIs (NZ) - we got the "Maltexo" in buckets from "Newbiggin Brewery" in Auckland - NZ.
Waht can you tell me about the "real" Newbiggin - since it's off-topic - send it to my e-mail
Would like to chat about cobles too..;)
Cheers - Sam
