About
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.

It’s a pale bitter. When well kept this is the perfect example of a British session ale. Full of biscuity grain, smooth and mildly bitter.

On tap at the Old Vine. Copper colour with a little head. Clean aroma and a beautiful slightly floral bitter taste with a little maltiness.

Cask @ The Three Fishes, Shrewsbury. Pours clear amber, fluffy white head. Aroma is light grains, straw. Taste is of course rather light, with faint pale malt and straw taking centre stage. Rather weak & ostensibly watered-down, even for a mild.

Appearance is deep amber with a beige foamy head. Raisiny caramel malt aroma. Taste is malt-forward, lots of dark fruit, creamy full mouthfeel. Very nice.

Skipton Beer Festival 2016. Copper-amber with a frothy head. Mid malty bitter with a potent nose in this respect. There’s a very mild sweetness here too.

Cask at the Royal Albert, New Cross. It pours clear dark brown with a light tan head. The aroma is brown bread, fruit cake, malt loaf and toasted malts. The taste is mellow, rich, toasted malt, brown bread, touch of dried fruits, big malt loaf character and some caramel. Light body and soft carbonation. Pretty OK for the style, but I was hoping for a touch more oomph.

Cask. Gravity dispense. Barrow Hill jamboree. Had plenty of this many moons ago round West Yorkshire, so nice to try again. Dark, cola brown. Decent, tan head. Soft, UK hoppage. Stone fruits. Hint of coffee. Roast malts. Taste is nutty and fruity dry. Light body. Nutty finish.
