The range of beers produced by Tetley wasn’t the largest, just eight in total. Four Mild Ales, two Pale Ales, one Stout and one Porter.
At least I think that’s what they are. X3 could be an Old Ale rather than a Mild. Especially with that level of hopping. It’s interesting that the hopping rate per quarter (336 lbs) of malt is different for all the four Milds. Increasing as the gravity rises. Which may be the reason they weren’t parti-gyled with each other.
There’s a full-strength Pale Ale and what looks like a Light Bitter. There’s quite a difference in the hopping rate between the two. My guess is that PA was a proper Stock Bitter, aged for maybe 12 months before sale. While K was a Running Beer, intended for almost immediate sale.
The Stout is a few degrees weaker than a London equivalent. But not by a huge amount. They weren’t making much of it. Most of their beers were brewed in lengths of 160-odd barrels. The batch of Stout in the table was just 12.5 barrels.
It’s surprising that Tetley still brewed a Porter. Most regional breweries had dropped them by the 1880s. Though many had a beer called “Stout” at Porter strength. At a bit over 1050º, it has a similar gravity to London versions.
