Tetleys of Leeds – in memorium

[oldboots]

Ah,Draught Bass! .......... I'm not sure who brews it now, but apparently they're making quite a good fist of it. Must try it again before it goes forever.

AFAIK it's Steve Wellington (who works for Molson-Coors ) at either the old Bass Museum brewery or his new super-duper million pound jobby (paid for by Molson Coors ), he also makes draught White Shield and "proper" Worthington E. All of course back in Burton on Trent.


BTW I don't think they're using Unions though as it's only Marstons who still have them.

Well the buyers always say, "brewing is guaranteed to continue here for the foreseeable future, no plans to close anything, jobs are safe, blah, blah".

Months later this becomes "it's very regretable but... market forces....downturn in sales.....blah blah blah"

I'm sure we could list them all from the last 20 or 30 years from Ruddles to Tetleys


.............and Sharps is next I don't doubt.

I heard they were going to sell bricks as souvenirs.
