Tetley's Brewery (Joshua Tetley & Son Ltd) was an English regional brewery founded in 1822 by Joshua Tetley in Hunslet, now a suburb of Leeds, West Yorkshire. The beer was originally produced at the Leeds Brewery, which was later renamed the Leeds Tetley Brewery to avoid confusion with a microbrewery of the same name. Tetley Beer is a legendary English brewery that has been in operation for more than 200 years. Their beer has been made with English hops and malts, as well as their own Tetley’s yeast, to create beers that are both unique and flavorful over time. Tetley Beer has remained popular despite the brewery’s closure in 2011. It’s no surprise that Tetley Beer is still a popular drink today, given the company’s history of producing high-quality beer. Despite the fact that the brewery has closed, their legacy lives on by producing some of the best beers in the country. Tetley Beer, an English classic, has endured over the centuries.
