I thought there was something wrong with the last bottle I had, other than the label, and now I read this:

"Newcastle Brown Ale is no longer available in the United States. A product labelled “Newcastle Brown Ale” is still sold but it is produced by Lagunitas Brewing Company and has little in common with the original product."

What. The. Fuck.

Yeah... that's a pretty deceptive practice, though I assume it's legal to buy a brand and manufacture a different product under that label.
