Not thread creep - True story about Yorkshire beer!!!Accountants at Tetley were looking for cost savings and did a financial analysis of the benefit of moving the brewery out of town and selling the valuable brewery site.
Unfortunately they had made no allowance for relocating the well under the brewery which supplied the water to give Tetley its superb bitter taste! The brewery is still in same location.
Tetley also brew in Warrington on other side of Pennines with Warrington water and the beer is no where near as good as Yorkshire Tetleys. Still - being on wrong side of Pennines means it is mainly drunk by non Yorkshire people!! Cheers Geordie Broon
