Description
In 1961 Tetley Walker merged with Ind Coope and Ansells to form Allied Breweries, then the world's largest brewing conglomerate. In 1978 Allied merged with J. Lyons to form Allied Lyons.

The breweries business merged with Carlsberg in 1992 and became Carlsberg-Tetley, which is now part of Carlsberg Group.

Some Ind Coope beers continued to be brewed by Carlsberg, but it isn't clear if they are still being brewed.

Any beers from before the initial merger in 1961 should be listed separately.

A good, full-bodied ale with a well-balanced bitterness. It used to come in BIG bottles here in Sweden but not anymore, pity.

A decent pale ale, not outstanding in any way. Rerate 500 ml bottle: Moderate malty aroma, golden brown colour, good head. Pleasant, malty, well rounded flavour. Decent. A bit alcoholic, in a blind test I would guess it was stronger than it actually is.

Amber coloured. Neutral aroma with hint of green apples. Light-bodied, near thin, with low bitterness and slight sulfur aroma. This ale got megabrewed written all across it.

Found this in a green bottle and the result was as expected: first crack of the crown and skunk hit my nose. Otherwise, a nicely balanced light creamy ale with a nice hop presence. A very unusual ale however, with many lager characteristics.

It used to be this was the best English ale I could find. Thankfully that is no longer the case.
