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 Ship & Mitre April Fest 08. Copper with lasting cream head. Bit buttery. Faint hop on finish. Diacetyl, not much, but definitely there, which means that I’m not keen.

[i] [b] Cask at the Royal Oak Beer Festival, Oakley, Bucks/Oxon border 03-05-08 [/i] [/b] Mid golden colour with a tiny white film masquerading as a head. Initially I got a slightly watered down marmaladeyness, the taste seemed quite spacious in the mouth quite fruity but there was a real ginger burn to this , it was nice enough but for me it lacked in a few areas.
