Tetley Brewery Leaves Yorkshire

Today is the last day that Tetley can be called a Yorkshire beer, when fifty-six employees lose their jobs and the factory closes.

Two hundred years or brewing history ends as Carlsberg, who own the beer, close the site saying they need more space.

Liberal Democrat MP Greg Mulholland has tabled and Early Day Motion in the House of Commons calling for people to boycott Carlsberg products. He has also secured the future of the World War One memorial at the site.

CAMRA's Bradford Branch secretary John Bell says taken out of West Yorkshire, the beer just won't be the same.
