| I remember Cresta pop!!!! Maybe I'm older than I think
Anyway....the beer used for cask is exactly the same for smooth variant, except the kegs are pasteurised, as are all kegs, cans and bottles. 12 month shelf life is a more profitable than taste....and thats what the big brewers want.
A friend at work has decided to leave for a position at Copper Dragon. Very jealous ![Sad icon_sad.gif](images/smilies//icon_sad.gif)

I could never understand that, other than the fact that it gave a third option to what you drank, and "back in t'day" you only ever drank mild, bitter or mixed, nothing else.
Lager was for women to drink in halves with either lime or blackcurrant added.
Unless you were our mate Kev who'd emigrated to Leeds from London, he drank lager, he was a big puff and the landlords used to tell him so every time.

oh, oh, I've just remembered
A pint of mixed in "tha clerb" in Northumberland with my fatha-in lor was called "a halfy-half", and not bitter and mild either, "special" and "ordinary".
Told you they were weird up there.

Prime Land? Big profits for developer? It would have been in 2004. I work for a developer whose main project is a big mixed-use scheme in Central London and getting any funding from the banks is like blood out of the proverbial stone. So any developer for a scheme on this site would have ten times the trouble. I would be very surprised if, even if a developer acquires it fairly soon, they will do anything more than sit on it for the next five years. Any scheme they would do, especially if it was residential-led, would scarcely be viable. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if the big housebuilders have a good sniff around
I lived at Brewery Wharf for six months last year so its a shame to see the brewery finally close as had been mooted for a while - if only for the fact that the building was a local landmark and an unusually centrally located symbol of the region's industrial heritage. However I do have to agree with the majority of posters that Tetleys has been garbage whenever I've had it.
On a related topic, I bloody miss my thursday evenings in Mr Foleys and the Victoria. Good times.

Thanks for that.
I have learned something about beer on Southstander.com today ... that is definitely a first.

| Reading this thread has brought back some memories for me, on trips to leeds in the early 80's with hull we often used to get to gaping goose well early so we could sink a fair few tetley bitters before game, was only in my late teens at the time and probably youngest on the bus but you certainly had to be quick out the blocks off the bus to beat the old timers to the bar!! Totally agree with comments about carlsberg, !!.

The very last job I ever worked on in Newcastle was in 1984 and the conversion of an old warehouse property on the Quayside into a new pub which would be owned by Tetleys, the job was remarkable for three things,
1. It was the first property on the Quayside to be renovated, at that time the area was a no-go area, full of closed and derelict Victorian warehouses/shipping offices and NOT the sort of place to linger even during the daytime, we thought they were mad to open a pub in the middle of all that.
2. It was the first Tetley's pub that I knew of in the whole of the North East apart from one other in Felling.
3. When they fitted the bars out on each set of pumps was one with a yellow cover one with "XXX" written on and no matter how much you questioned the owners and architects what this was they wouldn't tell you until opening night.
Turned out it was lager.

Will do. Not sure when that will be but the lure of Leeds beers and Bradford Curry is strong.

I hadn't realised that we must have overlapped.
I was in Newcastle in 1984. I used to lodge in Osborne Road, Jesmond and worked at International Paint (Felling) from February to October.
Quote: McLaren_Field "... Quayside...at that time the area was a no-go area, full of closed and derelict Victorian warehouses/shipping offices and NOT the sort of place to linger even during the daytime ...'"
I have some evocative photos somewhere, monochrome prints, that I shot down there.
Tyne Bridge in the background, railway lines along the quayside in the foreground.
Not a soul in sight.
Not far from where the Malmaison is now (my word it has changed down there).
I was into gritty realism photography back then.
