Description
B&T began brewing as an independent brewer in 1982 under the name Banks & Taylor's, with the aim to produce traditional cask ales using only the finest raw materials.

In 1994 Banks & Taylor's became B&T Brewery Ltd and continues to produce top quality, award winning cask ales today. Using traditional methods and a combination of pale, wheat, crystal and roast malts along with Challenger, Golding's and Cascade whole hops, B&T are able to produce over 30 different beers, each with their own distinct character and flavour.

Seasonal specials are produced to celebrate or commemorate the many different traditions, folk laws and historical events that have taken place locally.

In 2020 the Brewery was shut down and beers contract brewed at 3 Brewers.

Near-opaque brown beer with a thin head. The (light) smell and taste are both malty chocolate with a dash of caramel. A bit lightweight and watery but decent all the same.

Handpull cask at the Elm Tree, Cambridge. Clear gold, with the tiniest spots of white head and a bit of lacing. Flowery hop scent with touches of honey and blood orange. Bittersweet taste with some citrus juice. Fairly uniform until the finish when it turns slightly more bitter. A touch of soap in the aftertaste but this seems to disappear the more I drink. A pretty good golden beer from a brewery I haven’t had in a while.
