‘Newcastle Beer’ from A Beauk o’ Newcassel Sangs<\/a> (Joseph Crawhall II Collection, Crawhall 12)<\/p>\n

“When fame brought the news of Great Britain’s success,
\n<\/em>And told at Olympus each Gallic defeat,
\n<\/em>Glad Mars sent to Mercury orders express,
\n<\/em>To summon the Deities was plac’d
\n<\/em>To guide the gay feast,
\n<\/em>And freely declar’d there was choice of good cheer;
\n<\/em>Yet vow’d to his thinking,
\n<\/em>For exquisite drinking,
\n<\/em>Their Nectar was nothing to Newcastle Beer.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Joseph Crawhall II was born in Newcastle in 1821 and was the son of Joseph Crawhall I, who was a sheriff of Newcastle. As well as running the family ropery business with his brothers, he also spent his time illustrating, making woodcuts and producing books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
