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.

Cask handpull at The Masque Haunt, JDW, London. Very pale gold, lasting white head. Served a bit cold, but in excellent nick, touch of soap, over a nettley, lime juice golden beer. Good citrus lime edge on the finish. Very good in fact. A JHB/Hophead/Brewers Gold wannabe, but more almost more extreme citric acid. Good though, nice fullness and sherbert creaminess, really explosive in mouth.
