We finish this little look at Tetley's beers just after WW II with a glance at their hops.
I was going to say that I hope you've been enjoying this little series. But that would be a lie. I really couldn't give a fuck. This is all stuff I'm having to churn through for my next book. I may as well stretch some blog posts out of it.
Especially as when you read this I'll be on a plane to Thailand. Just a couple of days after returning from Brazil. Since I won't have much chance to post for a couple of weeks, and I insist on posting every single day, I've had to schedule a shitload of posts. I'm currently 17 days ahead.
Anyeway, back to the fascinating topic of Tetley's hop usage in Austerity Year Zero.
Surprisingly little has changed with the hops Tetley used. Other than that there are even fewer of them than in 1939. The types of hops – well, the regions from which they came, as there’s no mention of a specific variety – remain the same: English hops from Kent and Worcester.
Just as in 1939, there are three different ages of hops. In this case from 1943, 1944 and 1945. While in 1939, it was 1936, 1937 and 1938. In both cases, the Worcester hops were the oldest.
“PF”, judging by the quantity. Is some sort of hop extract or concentrate. Large quantities of which were imported in the final war years.
