Yeah mate. It's on all the news. A loss of 170 jobs and talks with the work force are to be held straight away. the brewery will be closed in 2 years, they can't afford to keep 2 plants going in the U.K.A brewery has stood there for 100+ years e.t.c!

If you listen quietly you can almost hear poor Drapesy crying in his cornflakes!On a serious note though this must have been on the cards for years surely?What with the state of the pub situation and all that.

Not surprised at TBH. Such a crying shame that a great cask ale will die like this though.

According to the BBC their spokesman said:"He said the company would continue brewing Tetley beer, preferably elsewhere in Yorkshire, if not somewhere in the north of England, but "definitely" in the UK."So that's Ok then.
