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.

Handpull cask at the Town Hall Tavern, Leeds. Very dark brown, only slightly translucent with a massive tan/khaki head. Very light aroma, some chocolate, some bready malt. Taste isn't all that sweet, but rather there's a bitterness which creeps in quickly. Finish is balanced with light chocolate in the aftertaste, a watery body and soft carbonation. Pretty good mild.

Handpull cask at the Town Hall Tavern, Leeds. Light cold and clear with a full off-white head. Light aroma, not a lot there but I do get some agave syrup notes and Light caramel. Sweet taste, short of cloying with a perky hop bitterness near the finish. Full body for the ABV, soft carbonation. Nice if a bit dull. Hey, it's a sip of history.
