Around two thirds of the hops employed by Tetley were English. Specifically, from either Kent or Worcester. Not really a surprise as they were the two largest hop-producing regions in the UK.
Unusually, all the foreign hops were European. Remember that the USA was by far the largest foreign supplier of imported hops. I wonder if the brewers at Tetley didn’t care for the flavour of American hops?
The foreign sources were quite odd. Two of the four types were German. But not the fashionable German types such as Hallertau or Spalt. Instead, they came from Alsace and Altmark. The other foreign suppliers were Burgundy, a small hop region in the North of France, and Austria. Never seen the latter before. Do they mean Bohemian?
