Reply to: Pints at 9am

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.

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 It used three separate yeasts and had eight months of development, but the variant has since been withdrawn.[30] It continues as a pasteurised ale in kegs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?

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.

Tetleys in a Leeds pub in 2010 was a fine pint. It never travelled very well.

The photo was taken by me in Leeds in 2010. The pub was The Palace, which is on Eastgate, and it was a standard pint ot Tetley's bitter. Here's the original photo: https://flic.kr/p/8paMi5

Not to second guess MrBob, but he added as the icon for his post so I don't think he's cross about it

I just want to make sure, he may be open to becoming the CUK breakfast guru and I don't want to upset him

I had a couple of beers for breakfast at 7.30am last week when the missus and kids were away. And my GP reckons I'm an alcoholic. What a lot of tosh.

So did he give you a timeline yet? Do update us.

Best wishes and warm regards,
AtW.

Oh Dear - sorry about that MrBob.

We meant no harm and it was a breakfast thread. Would you like us to take the photo down?

Nope, a breakfast in Leeds

No black pudding. And the beer is flat. Looks like a southerner's breakfast to me.
