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.

Handpull cask at the Elm Tree. Dark gold or honey brown. Take your pick. Not quite clear. Smells of TCP and fresh grass. Taste is sweet and herbal with notes of bay and caramel. Smooth finish. Good but odd. More odd than good.

Cask at the Elm Tree, Cambridge. As dark mild. Pours very dark brown with a lasting tan colour head. Aroma is very peaty, smoked, roasted malt, chocolate. Medium sweetness, dry roasted bitterness. Medium bodied, thick texture. Getting past the initial smoke/peat this was very drinkable.

Cask at the Hope and Champion, Beaconsfield. Poured s hazy straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is floral yeast, light citrus, light hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a light fruity, slight medicinal yeast palate. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation. Not at its best I feel.
