What makes Tetley's different to others? Its the unique double strain of yeast that gives Tetley's beer it's unique taste and aroma. The very same yeast used by Tetley's since 1822. The alcohol content of Tetley’s Smooth Ale is very low, just 3.6% abv. This is the same alcohol percentage as their mild and just 0.1% lower than their original bitter. If you want a stronger version of Tetley’s you have to go for their Imperial (which is 4.1%). Is Tetley’s Gluten-Free? a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o R. G.

Imperial – Originally created for the Teesside market, and at one point was advertised as "Teesside's favourite pint". It was launched nationally as a premium 4.3% cask ale in 2002. It used three separate yeasts and had eight months of development, but the variant has since been withdrawn.

Still that lingering sweetness from the malts - not cloying, still quite pleasant but also light. a b c d "Leeds Online – Leeds Tetley Brewery: Past, Present and Future".

The Leeds Brewery was closed in 2011, and demolished in 2012, with production contracted out by Carlsberg to breweries in Wolverhampton, Tadcaster and Hartlepool. Tetley still sponsors Leeds Rhinos Rugby League club. In 1993 Allied Lyons sold a 50 per cent stake in the company to Carlsberg. The brewery opened a museum on 19 March 1994. [13] The attraction proved popular; however, redevelopment of the land surrounding the brewery led to the attraction's closure on 7 April 2000. The building is now bars and restaurants. [14] By 1996, sales of Tetley Bitter were overtaken by sales of John Smith's, and the product has retained the number two ale position ever since. [15] This is largely attributed to Tetley's ineffective marketing campaigns. [12] In 1998 Tetley's was fully taken over by Carlsberg. In 2004 Tetley was dropped from the Carlsberg-Tetley name. [16] The company is now called Carlsberg UK Limited and is a part of Carlsberg AS group. In 2006, Tetley's sold 185million pints of beer in pubs. In the same year, the brewery's dray horses, which had made beer deliveries to pubs around Leeds, were retired. [16]

Appearance: a pure golden-copper in colour with carbonation clinging to the glass rather than rising to the top. A thin off-white head (even with a vigorous pour) lasts the distance throughout the session. Looks pretty good for an English mid. Tetley's Brewery (Joshua Tetley & Son Ltd) was an English regional brewery founded in 1822 by Joshua Tetley in Hunslet, now a suburb of Leeds, West Yorkshire. The beer was originally produced at the Leeds Brewery, which was later renamed the Leeds Tetley Brewery to avoid confusion with a microbrewery of the same name. Dzinzi, Mellissa (4 August 2020).
