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.

Fra håndpumpe på The Grenadier, London SW1. Pubcrawl med Julian, jan-11: en benchmark blandt engelske bitter. Kompleks, smaksrik og med god munnfylde. Lett å like, lett å drikke.

Gigantyczna piana, mocno zbita, szkoda że szybko maleje. Zapach bardzo intensywny, kwiatowy. W smaku wyrażny posmak goryczki chmielowej, finisz także wytrawny. Tego dobrego bittera polecam każdemu

Bottle. A dense, two-finger off-white head head forms over a clear, dark golden body. Quite weak aroma, with caramel maltyness and some fruity hops. Biscuity malts and a faint roasted touch. Sweet flavor with maltyness, caramel and some fruityness. Medium body, soft carbonation. Mostly bitter end. A superbly boring one, but it’s sure drinkable, the bitterness is the best thing about it. 120720

[Cask at the Old Board Inn, Hawes] Amber-gold, thick white (sparkler) head. Sweet at first, with light hints of lemon & biscuit. Surprisingly dry finish. Rather bland overall, but OK.

Bottle in Aarhus, courtesy of camons. Thanks Rene! Dark golden orange appearance with a tan head. Toasty malty, light caramel, somewhat straw aroma. Pretty solid, toffee, caramel, earthy flavor. Not bad.
