About
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.

Cask at the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Standard golden appearance: light gold, clear with a decent head. Surprisingly malty aroma: toast, mild cheddar and biscuits, a bit of banana and citrus. Taste is less pronounced: a sharp bitter which slowly fades on the back of the tongue. Hints of banana throughout the taste. A reasonable yet quirky beer.

Cask, gravity dispensed, at the Halloween Beer Festival at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. A slightly hazy amber pour with a thin translucent head; aroma of wood smoke; sour fruit taste with more smoke; and a sharp grapefruit finish. Doesn’t come together well for me.

On cask at Three Tuns, Dronfield - A purple cum brown body, lacing beige head. Nose is strong with plums, a bit of acidic stone fruits there too. Taste has a bit of metalicness to it, with the smokiness making it bearable. Quite interesting.

Cask @ Seven Stars, Manchester. Clear dark brown with an off-white creamy head. Has a lovely mix of dark malts and dark fruits with an underlying and enjoyable sweetness.
