Tetleys! Carlsberg closed that down years ago... I believe they brew something in Northampton* which masquerades as the same thing. It isn't though.

Bar stewards!

Something masquerading as Tetleys appeared in my local English/Irish theme pub a few years ago. I knew it didn't travel well, but this was definitely some other brew.

* - i'll admit it might be some other place in the general geographic region of 'down south'.

Nuff said.

According to some brewery rep, Ind Coope (sp?) was brewed in the Midlands to the same recipe as Tetleys, and they even had the same coiour schemes for logos. One sip was enough to tell you otherwise.

[eek]

Tetley's is now brewed in Wolverhampton at Banks.

If you think that's bad Newkie Brown is now brewed in Tadcaster. And not even at the better of the brewery's there. (yes I know Samuel Smith's pubs aren't always great but their beer is better than John Smith's).

Meh. Northampton/Wolverhampton. It's stretching 'down south' a bit but it's certainly not Leeds, where it ought to be...

[eek]

You drive along the M62 and turn left when you reach the M6. I would definitely call that South of Leeds.
