The acquisition of Charles Wells's Eagle Brewery in Bedford increased Marston's share of the British ale market. It also widened its geographical reach giving it southern English brands Bombardier, Waggledance, Courage, the global Young's licence and Scottish brands McEwan's and William Younger.

This is essential reading for anyone with an interest in beer as a drinker, a retailer or a brewer." – John Cryne, former chairman, Campaign for Real Ale RSS linksThe Marston's Brewery in Burton upon Trent brews Marston's and Bass plus Tetley's beers under contract. Webster, Ian (15 January 2018). Brewing in Burton-upon-Trent. Amberley Publishing Limited. p.80. ISBN 978-1-4456-7055-3. The main beers are Mansfield, Wainwright, Marston's Pedigree and EPA, McEwans Export, McEwan's Special, Bombardier, Wychwood Hobgoblin, Jennings Cumberland Ale, and Banks's Bitter and Mild. Despite a general UK-wide decline in the popularity of mild ales, Banks's Mild still outsells its stablemate bitter in the West Midlands market and is the best-selling mild ale in the world. [26] The company also owns Sunbeam, a blonde beer which is brewed and distributed from the Banks's brewery based in Wolverhampton. Sunbeam was first produced in 2011, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Wolverhampton achieving city status.

I've just attempted a Tetley's recipe myself (Currently on day 4 in the FV) but for an authentic Yorkie you really need a good top cropper Liquid yeast such as Wyeast 1469 West Yorkshire which pops up from time to time, or Wyeast 1187 Ringwood yeast that came originally from the Hull brewery. I honestly don't think Notto or S-04 would do the job as you need that silky smoothness and clean flavour. Tetleys is a light colour and the distinctive hop is Northdown according to Roger Protz in the Ultimate Encyclopedia of Beer. Wyeast 1469, roused and aerated twice a day for the first three days to emulate the 'Yorkshire Square' system. I'm doing mine at 16 degrees and the yeast is loving it at that temperature. Then when the primary is done after about 10 days I'll transfer it to secondary and 'cold crash' it for another week before kegging / bottling. I never liked bitter, however since frequenting a local micro pub that has a good turnover of beers and sampling a varity of supermarket bottled beers, I have got right into bitter and mild, don't think the majority of brewery tied pubs that I drank in did a very good job with these beers, most tasted like flat cold tea. Maybe tastes have changed a little but I think the quality standard of the beer has got much better by getting it from the right places.

I'll add that to my list of future brews How difficult are those liquid yeasts to get started? Never used one before. Any chance you can let me know how the final brew turns out?
