Pints at 9am

Nah. I can't remember exactly when it was farmed out to be produced under license elsewhere but without being brewed in the traditional Yorkshire Squares and without the original well water it just didn't have the same taste. Allied with the dubious decision to reduce the ABV from 3.8 to 3.6 in order to take advantage of lower rates of duty, it's not been on the radar for a long time. Shame, cos whilst always being mass produced, it was a quality brew.

It was moved from the site 2010/2011 depending on the variant

I see Tetley's mild about the place occasionally but no sign of Tetley's Imperial for a long time.

Still going somewhere though apparently, Wikipedia says;

Tetley's Cask (3.7% ABV) is the original cask conditioned version of the product.[26] Carlsberg recommend always using a sparkler when serving the product.[27] It is brewed under contract for Tetley by Marston's Park Brewery in Wolverhampton, using the Yorkshire square method, and a dual-strain yeast.[28] Another cask beer, Tetley's Gold, was introduced in 2012.[29]

Carlsberg brew the Tetley's Mild (3.2% ABV) in both light and dark forms.

Imperial - Originally created for the Teesside market, and at one point was advertised as "Teesside's favourite pint". It was launched nationally as a premium 4.3% cask ale in 2002. It used three separate yeasts and had eight months of development, but the variant has since been withdrawn.[30] It continues as a pasteurised ale in kegs

Any smoggies about to confirm this?

I had (several) pints of this in Billingham a couple of years ago.
An excellent pint served with an obscure tall head like a knickerbocker glory.
Sad to hear of its demise.

Did you know in the North East of England, sparklers are often fitted to pumps, usually just those serving non-real ale, in order to give the beer a large head - up to an inch - and the glasses are slightly bigger to make up for it.
