Maybe if Tetleys had created a decent lager they could have survived in their own right. Skol was terrible, and xxxx not much better. And Carlsberg is probably not the best lager in the world if you drink it in the UK.

Like previous posters have touched on, I suppose the shutdown was inevitable with the accountants looking at economies of scale now. Other examples of consolidation are Speckled Hen moved to Suffolk from oxfordshire a few years back, and Ruddles brewed in Taddy. Drinking habits have certainly changed starting with lager in the 60's/70's to WKD today. ( the WKD adverts trying to promote an alcopop as blokes drink is very confusng for me) Look how many Tetleys pubs have closed in the last 10 years due to the influx of new bars in Leeds city centre, and supermarkets offering cheap booze so people stay in more.

I used to enjoy a pint of "Mix" in the early 80's which my dad put me on to. It was half a Tetley bitter and half a Tetley mild for the benefit of people under 45. RIP "TETS"

Ah The Myrtle, I was a Bay Horse man myself.

And you'll kick yourself when I tell you this but The Woodman in Headingley was always a youth club in the 1970s as was upstairs in The Oak, I had my first illegal pint in The Oak and wore an RAF trench coat which still had some badges on it in a belief that it would make me look older, I needn't have bothered as there were kids in there getting served from the form below us at school icon_biggrin.gif

I was at the launch of a hand pulled Tetleys lager in the early 1980's, i have never been a lager drinker, but this stuff was an amazing Summer drink,( or was it the free bar made it taste so sweet), can't for the life of me remember what it was called.. Must have lasted a few weeks before being abandoned. I also seem to remember a Tetleys Ruby(?)...was that a seasonal brew?

Yes we later used the Bay Horse after we leant to drink beer. I was brought up a very short walk from the New Inn (BYB) and "Moorhouses" in the good old tramcar days, so the Woodman and Three Horse Shoes were too close to home for underage sessions.

However my taste for Haddock n Chips has never waivered from being cooked in beef dripping á lá Bryans and I remember it when the Blacksmith was next door and the upstairs restaurant only had about 4 tables.

Soon we will be dancing the Fandango FROM 2004,TO DO WHAT THIS CLUB'S DONE,IF THATS NOT GREATNESS THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS. JAMIE PEACOCK:



my first time to be served in a pub was the christmas of 1962 I was 15,and I had left school the previous Easter.I was working as an apprentice painter and decorator A,M youngs and son LTD chapel Allerton,any we were working at a tailoring factory in call lane opposite THE WHITE SWAN[MUCKY DUCK]so christmas eve we finished at lunchtime and I followed the blokes into the pub,one bloke said "good god lad you dont look 14 never mind 15"any way I managed about
2 and 1/2 pints of mild and went to the loo at the back outside ,nearly fell down the open cellar someone got hold of me and took me back in.going home I had to lock myself in the corn exchange toilet till I sobered up.
I remember the late Denis Goodwin taking over that pub a couple of years later

I remember that.
I had a pint of it at the White Cross in Guiseley ... at least I think it was there.
It was a very short-lived experiment, bitter drinkers didn't like it because it the flavour was like a lager ... and "lager" drinkers didn't like it because it wasn't ice-cold or fizzy.
Personally, I didn't mind it that much but it was a bit too light.

I can't remember what it was called either.
Unless it was actually called White Cross and I tried it somewhere else ... icon_biggrin.gifRUNK:
