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.

Pours a pale gold colour with a small white head. Some light malt, citrus and yeasty vegetable aromas. Light sweet malt taste but watery, thin and not much in the finish.

Gravity cask at the Walsall CAMRA festival 2017. Poured a clear dark brown with little life. The aroma is dry smoky roast malt and plum. The flavour is moderate to light sweet with a light dry ashtray malt, fruity light spice palate. Medium to light bodied with flat carbonation.

Cask handpump at The White Horse, Banbury, Oxon, Sunday 5th March 2017 Pours very dark brown with nice cream textured and coloured head. Soft, easy drinking mild, not necessarily picking up plums but I guess that is the fruitiness I’m getting, a little thin (watery) smooth, ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Handpull cask at the Queen Edith, Cambridge. Honey brown with a loose whitish head. A tremendous amount of lacing. Caramel, apricot, strawberry and Horlicks in the aroma. Nice bittersweet taste but it’s missing that crucial balance. Fairly workaday but I liked it well enough.

Cask at the Pheasant, Wellington. Pours black with a red hue and a off white head. Aroma isn’t much, a little roasted malt. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate and a hint of treacle. Nice carbonation and a nice looking pint. Not a bad mild but not enough flavour in there for me
