“Honey, I’m just going to see a man about a dog” – what would make any woman in this country shake her head sounds completely normal to English ears. "To see a man about a dog" is what they say in English when you have to be a little beer drinker or if you would rather buy a beer, preferably a Newcastle Brown Ale, instead of going to Grandma's for a coffee chat. You blame the dog whenever you leave and don't want to say the real reason why. Basically it's not about the dog at all, but often about alcohol. In any case, it sounds much more elegant to say “I'm going to see a man about a dog” instead of openly admitting that you're now downing a beer.
Since this saying comes from Great Britain, we can even name the dog exactly: "The Dog" is the name given to Newcastle Brown Ale. Since 1927, English men have used this imaginary dog when they stop by the nearest pub and buy a Newcastle Brown Ale. Newcastle Brown Ale has been around for that long and it is still a hit in England today: just one year after its creation, Newcastle Brown Ale received the gold medal at the “International Brewers Exhibition” in London - not the last, as it says on the label is so beautiful to see.
The beer itself is tasty and malty-sweet with a slightly bitter finish. An elegant beer with tradition from the land of the Queen!
