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.

500ml bottle. Pours a clear golden amber colour, bubbly white head, with caramel and very faint hop aroma. Flowery, hoppy taste with light malt, and lingering dry metallic bitterness.

On gravity at the Volunteer, Bristol. Dark brown with a touch of red and tight, off-white head. Sweet, caramel aroma with a touch of fruit. Flavour was very sweet, with a syrupy edge and gently bitter finish. Aside from the caramel, there wasn’t much to this beer. Disappointing.

Cask at the Harvester, Solihull. Clear golden brown pour, thin frothy head and broken lacing. A classic English bitter that isn’t quite so bitter! Big malty flavour with a smooth bitter taste which only just reaches the palate. It has an almost creamy feel to it, which probably explains it’s popularity. It’s been the king of English bitters for a while now and shows no sign of losing it’s crown.

Aroma of caramel and toasted malts with mild floral hops and a bit of butter. The taste is sweet caramel malts, butter, marzipan, floral hops. Medium bodied, very faint lingering bitterness. Solid.
