Description
In 1858 Timothy Taylor began brewing beer in Cook Lane in the West Riding town of Keighley. He clearly struck upon a successful formula for in 1863 he set up and built a larger brewery at Knowle Spring, where the company has remained ever since.
The superb spring water that wells up from deep under the Pennines is still used today to produce the country's best traditional cask ales.
The brewery remains in the Taylor family and is now the last independent brewery of its type left in West Yorkshire. This independence enables Taylors to survive as one of the few brewers still brewing true cask ales in the same way it has always done."Taylor's Taste" is achieved by using only the finest natural ingredients, taking pride in the brewing process and allowing full time for the ales to ferment and mature, thereby creating a unique family of beers.
We have come a long way since 1858. Our beers have won many awards and worldwide acclaim. This is seen within our product range.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Cree. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s grains and biscuit malts in the aroma plus some hoppy traces. In the mouth it is sweet with a creamy texture. Main flavours are mixed hops and citrus with hints of nuts and peel. Some traces of summer fruits later as well. Some bitterness in the dry finish. This is quite decent.

A brand new Taylor beer is a rare thing, so is visiting one of their pubs, so this is a double-whammy for me. The new blonde is clear light golden in colour, hoppy and very sessionable, and perfect for this sunny day out in North Yorkshire. It's traditional in design, no more than that, but I'd expect nothing more from one of the regions last bastions of historic beer making.
