I was really against Tetleys being moved to Marstons to be brewed. I presumed it would disappear over a short space of time, leaving just Tetleys Smooth and Tetleys Extra Cold on a few bars. But I am happy to say that here in 2016, there are plenty pubs in Lancashire still serving Tetleys Cask even now, and (heresy I know) its still just as good as when it was brewed in Yorkshire. So, fair play to Marstons after all.Paul Highamhttp://pubreviews.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-1083608065817451692010-12-16T07:22:07.131+00:002010-12-16T07:22:07.131+00:00Looks like you are an expert in this field, you re...Looks like you are an expert in this field, you really got some great points there, thanks.<br /><br />- RobsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-13828594750483713752010-03-03T08:55:51.610+00:002010-03-03T08:55:51.610+00:00Not on topic,sorry, but really enjoying Hops and G...Not on topic,sorry, but really enjoying Hops and Glory - just at the Hodgsons bit.

There is glut of flats in west yorkshire and no local appetite for this sort of living.<br />Also this sort of local food history is tossed away too lightly and I am constantly annoyed how loval government especially don't give toss about it. But in the next breath they are trying to coax people to holiday in their area. I actually think it is generational thing the people making the descison are 45-55 plus lager drink/wine suppers and they haven't seen that beer (ale) doesn't have the stigma it had in tehir youth at a green king event last week a room full of 20 somehting happily drank ipa (yeah i know but let me finish) but they weren't antagonistic to real ale in the way 20 something were say 20 years ago. so what I am saying is that our planner and councillor are out step that this sort of food and drink production is what we need in mixed economy and it does matter that tetly is brewed in yorkshire with all disresepct to wolvehampton yorkshire is yorkshire (see my post for lonmg rant about this) but to throw this sort of culture away is shameful. sorry for the rant but I get fed up with thsi Meh! way of things were cadbury can be hived off where anyone cna buy football teams it's not isolationist it just being careful with what we've got.BLTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564846497205095201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-28362350573230036362010-03-02T15:25:02.158+00:002010-03-02T15:25:02.158+00:00I don't think that Carlsberg ever really "...I don't think that Carlsberg ever really "got" cask ale at the corporate level.

Probably not). I suspect Tetley’s will wither on the vine like Boddington’s or Hancock’s, not from any fault of Marston’s but from a lack of interest by the brand’s owners. Never liked it myself, fed up of my Bradford mates in college going on and on about its superiority, and when I was in the Adelphi in Leeds recently, within bottle-throwing distance of the brewery, I did think of trying it in the interests of research, but didn’t.Adrian Tierney-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421802854011395300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-23729191509955670962010-03-02T13:22:05.451+00:002010-03-02T13:22:05.451+00:00Carlsberg are surely underestimating the opinions ...Carlsberg are surely underestimating the opinions of Cask Tetley's core market - the professional Yorkshireman.

I can't believe Tetleys/Carlsberg didn't act on the trend towards golden/blonde style ales in recent years and release a beer to appeal to younger drinkers (like Black Sheep, Thwaites etc... have done) as I think they had a lot of loyalty and goodwill (especially in Yorkshire) and there was potential to turn round their declining sales. The whole thing has been very short sighted if you ask me, and this follows the trend.myBrewerytaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168524121175103420noreply@blogger.com
