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 Thomsonโ€™s. Pours golden yellow with good white head. Merest touch of carbonation. Aromas of bready malt and spicey hops. Some honey on the taste, but good balancing bitterness. Much better than the bottle.

Re-rate 17/04/2022. Bottle from a neighbour. Crystal clear amber with a persistent 1cm white head. Looks better than all the murk I've suffered recently. Aromas of brown bread and lemon curd. Taste is faintly metallic, citrus and malt. Up a bit for looks and nose. 03/08/2013 - Pours clear amber with a quickly dissipating head. Grassy hops, butterscotch on the nose. Too sweet a finish. And since when was 4.1% considered strong?
