Despite all their newspaper adverts pushing their East India Pale Ale, in the 1880s Tetley was basically a Mild Ale brewery. They produced four different versions, all brewed single-gyle.
Bottom of the pile was X. Or rather, X with a line through it. Unlike other breweries, Tetley didn’t go from X to XXXX. Instead, all were a single X, just with varying numbers of horizontal lines through it. No idea why.
There are only three elements to the grist: mild malt, pale malt and sugar. I’ve no idea what the last was exactly. I can’t really read the description. It looks something like “Inchity”. I’ve gone for a conservative guess with No. 2 invert.
The hops are more comprehensible: Kent from the 1886 and 1887 harvests, Alsace from 1886 and Altmark from 1887.
