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.

8/3/2019. Cask at the Crosse Keys, London City. Pours dark amber with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of hops, malt, fruit, caramel, bread, tart berries and light veg. Moderate sweetness and bitterness with light sour. Moderate body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Sourness picked up in finish, maybe not served in its prime or maybe just not that good. Looked good though.
