Tetley's To Close?

Si · Post by Si » Fri 07 Nov, 2008 5:20 pm

When I was a lad, I drank mild (Tetley's, of course,) not only because you could sink more of it (cheaper and weaker,) but also because it tasted like nectar. I've drunk bitter since, and I find it is getting more variable. I lived in London for about eight years, and when I returned to Leeds (in 1988,) Tetley's wasn't the same, IMO. It may be the rose-tinted beer goggles, though...
