NEWCASTLE VS. DOWNTOWN BROWN

So yesterday I was at Yardhouse Restaurant in Rancho and was feeling daring. I asked the bartender for something that was comparable to Newcastle Brown Ale. I told him that I love Amber and Brown Ales and wanted to try something new. He recommended the Downtown Brown Ale. Its a small brew out of Eureka, CA and is quite tasty. I have a strong loyalty to the castle, but I think I might have a close second in which I pledge my loyalty. :)
